That pushes Johnson back to the 14th. The schedule is really whacky. You will need a 4th and 5th starter first time through, but with the off days built in for the sox return to Fenway, you can run 3 starters out there for a turn before you have to use your 4 and 5 again. Gives the sox time to baby Pomeranz and an outside chance that ERod is ready by then
