Tavarez Finally Takes the Mound

Tomorrow afternoon (12:30), Julian Tavarez finally will make his second start of the season.

Postponements because of rain have kept Tavarez from working since April 7, when he lasted only four innings (four runs, six hits) in Texas against the Rangers.

While Tavarez has been throwing on the side and doing his running, it's probably not fair to expect him to throw 90-100 pitches against the Blue Jays on Thursday, said manager Terry Francona.

The Sox will have Kyle Snyder backing up Tavarez in the event the veteran right-hander is rusty and runs up his pitch count early in the game.
