11 Clay Buchholz, SP

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Wednesday during his weekly radio spot on WEEI the team is targeting June 25 against the Rockies for Clay Buchholz's return to the rotation. Buchholz was placed on the disabled list Tuesday because of a strained AC joint in his shoulder.

"When we looked at the previous days missed, what we felt comfortable with in terms of the throwing needed to get back to have him be able to go five, six, hopefully seven innings on Saturday, we felt like it was a little too short in total numbers of days, and when you factor in rest period, throwing sessions," Farrell said. "So we can retroactive his DL status and make him available on the 24th, which is Monday. We’re off, so that game we open up home against Colorado, he’s eligible to start that. That gives us the ability to do a little bit of a [simulated] game Friday or Saturday over in Detroit. And probably gets him in a better place physically to walk out and start a big-league game."

Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz threw a bullpen session Tuesday to determine his availability for a start later in the week, as he's dealing with a neck injury. Buchholz ended up getting placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 9, WEEI.com reports. 

Buchholz had been pushed back several times from his scheduled start. He has a 1.71 ERA over 84 1/3 innings with a 9-0 record. Rubby De La Rosa or Allen Webster will start in his place. 

Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz will throw after the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays, according to MLB.com.

The Red Sox want Buchholz to throw so they can determine whether he's healthy enough to make a start later in the week. If the session does not go well, he will likely be placed on the disabled list. Either Rubby De La Rosa or Allen Webster would start in Buchholz's spot if he is unable to pitch later this week.

Buchholz has a 1.71 ERA in 84 1/3 innings.

Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz will throw soon, and the team will determine whether he needs a stint on the disabled list, according to CSNNE.com. 

Once he throws, the team will decide whether Buchholz will head to the disabled list or start tossing side sessions. Buchholz has been sidelined with a strained joint in his shoulder. He has a 1.71 ERA and a 2.48 FIP in 84 1/3 innings. If Buchholz can't make his next start, he would be replaced by Rubby De La Rosa or Allen Webster. 

Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz will not throw his scheduled bullpen Sunday and will not be able to start Tuesday during the doubleheader against the Rays, WEEI.com reports.

Buchholz threw from a distance of 90 feet Friday and reported some improvement, however, it was decided he would not be ready for Tuesday.

Buchholz is dealing with a strained AC joint in his shoulder and his next start is up in the air. He may be a candidate to land on the disabled list if he doesn't show improvement by early next week. His next possible outing could come June 22 in Detroit. He last pitched June 8.
