More on Schilling: He'll be placed on the DL Friday

ATLANTA -- Curt Schilling will be placed on the disabled list Friday, at which point the Red Sox will make a temporary roster move that could involve either a 14th position player or a reliever to help in the weekend series in San Diego and the first game of the series against the Mariners Monday in Seattle. The Sox will not promote a starter until Tuesday, when Schilling's replacement will be needed in the rotation.

Asked if Jon Lester would be one of the candidates to take Schilling's turn, manager Terry Francona declined to speculate, saying such advance talk ''just doesn't make sense.''
