Manager Terry Francona said the team may bring left-hander Jon Lester to Boston tomorrow for a side session.
The left-hander had a rough outing for Pawtucket yesterday, coughing up three runs on five hits and three walks before manager Ron Johnson pulled him with two outs in the third inning after he had thrown 70 pitches.
"He was not too pleased," said Francona of Lester's reaction to his rehabilitation outing. "Physically he was okay."
Francona said it's likely he, pitching coach John Farrell and general manager Theo Epstein will schedule a side session for Fenway Park tomorrow, depending on when the Red Sox return to Boston from Phoenix. They want to be able to see him throw and talk to him.
Lester has only more start before his rehab assignment is over, after which the team will have to assign him somewhere, with Boston or Pawtucket.
