Pomeranz (biceps) threw 69 pitches in a rehab start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday, giving up one run on a hit and a pair of walks while striking out five in six innings.
Pomeranz has been out since late May with biceps tendinitis. He's now made four rehab appearances, with Wednesday's outing representing the best of the lot. The Red Sox have a need for a new starter after Eduardo Rodriguez suffered what could be a long-term ankle injury last weekend, so Pomeranz could be activated from the 10-day disabled list when a rotation replacement is first needed July 24 against the Orioles.
