Francona has announced the new starting rotation to begin after the All-Star break. The scheduling is in order to get Lester and Beckett a bit of extra rest.
July 18: @ Angels – Clay Buchholz
July 19: @ Angels – Josh Beckett
July 20: @ Angels – Tim Wakefield
July 21: @ Mariners – Jon Lester
July 22: @ Mariners – Daisuke Matsuzaka
July 23: @ Mariners – Clay Buchholz
Lester is leading the majors with 20 games started and ranks pretty high in innings pitched, as does Josh Beckett. These are both guys that need to be at full strength as the season dwindles down so it was a pretty solid idea by Francona to swap up the rotation.
