According to the Boston Globe, Jon Lester (forearm) is likely to make at least one more minor league rehab start at Triple-A before rejoining the Red Sox's rotation.
The newspaper reports that there are "strong indications" that Lester will not replace Julian Tavarez this weekend. After allowing one run in a seven-inning complete game Monday at Pawtucket, Lester has a 0.87 ERA in four starts since returning from forearm cramping.

even though he is pitching great in Pawtucket with the .87 ERA, he only has 10 K's in 21 IP. Rotoworld thinks that's because the Sox have Lester avoiding throwing his cutter.
Unless Tavarez really implodes as the 5th starter and we can't make a move for anyone else, keep Lester down there for the year, unless theres an injury or Tavarez starts sucking.
