With Josh Beckett's expected return to the rotation on Friday, here's how the Red Sox' rotation is lining up this week, beginning with Monday nights game in Oakland.
↵- ↵
- Monday: Daisuke Matsuzaka ↵
-
Tuesday: Tim Wakefield (possibly his last start for some time)
↵ - Wednesday: Clay Buchholz ↵
-
Thursday: John Lackey
↵ - Friday: Josh Beckett (assuming all goes well on Tuesday) ↵
-
Saturday: Jon Lester (doubt the team will want him going on three days rest)

And from then it's seemingly a rotation of Dice-K, Buchholz, Lackey, Beckett and Lester, with Wakefield the odd-man out.
