Red Sox Manager Terry Francona said that Tim Wakefield would not be able to pitch every five days for the rest of the season. Said Francona: "We'll try to fit him in where it makes sense." Francona said there was no word on Nick Green and that Green will rejoin the team in New York for the series against the Yankees. Speaking of the Yankees, the Red Sox are not prepared to announce their starting rotation for that series just yet. Michael Bowden, who threw 12 pitches Tuesday night, is an option. Francona also touched on Manny Delcarmen (8.84 ERA since July 28), saying, "We're not going to give up on him."
 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After logging five innings and allowing five runs (four earned) on Monday, his first start since Sept. 5, Tim Wakefield will be examined today before the Red Sox chart his next course of action. Though the knuckleballer was heralded for a gutsy effort to stay on the mound, Red Sox manager Terry Francona acknowledged Wakefield will not remain on a regular turn in the rotation.

"I don't know [when he'll next pitch]. We'll see. That's the part that we have to keep monitoring," Francona said after his team's 12-9 loss to the Royals. "I don't think it's realistic that he would go every five days like everybody else. We'll see how he bounces back [Tuesday] and we'll kind of go from there."
