Mike Timlin still could be activated this weekend when the Red Sox are in Arizona.
But before he will be added to the Boston roster he is going to have to pitch at least one more time for the Pawtucket Red Sox, Francona said this afternoon.
Timlin, who threw two sparkling innings for the PawSox yesterday, will pitch again for the Triple A team on Thursday in Richmond. If that goes well, Timlin, who has been on the disabled list since May 3 because of right shoulder tendinitis, could be back in Boston's bullpen this weekend.
The timetable for left-hander Jon Lester isn't as imminent. Francona said that Lester, who turned in a solid seven-inning complete-game performance for Pawtucket in the first game of a doubleheader yesterday, will start again for the PawSox on Saturday at McCoy Stadium against Ottawa, Francona said.

Not sure the thinking of Franconia. Lester would be a welcome replacement to, take your pick lately....Wakefield, Tavares, and soon maybe even another that may be showing his age. Lets get this 26 year old lefty back on the mound.
