Red Sox pitcher Mike Timlin had a closed-door meeting with manager Terry Francona this afternoon, and the veteran right-hander was told he will continue his rehab with the Pawtucket Red Sox.
Timlin will join the PawSox on Sunday in Norfolk and throw one, maybe two innings. Then he’s slated to work again on Wednesday in Richmond.
“When you’re on rehab I think the word ‘tentative’ always needs to be used just until you activate a guy,” said Francona.
The plan, for now, is to activate Timlin when the team travels to Arizona next weekend.
“That’s assuming everything goes according to plan, which we think it will,” added Francona.
Francona attended the PawSox game against the Columbus Clippers on Thursday in Pawtucket and said Timlin looked good during his 1-2-3 inning of work.
“He threw the ball pretty well,” said the manager. “And, I think he felt the same way.”
