BOSTON -- Rick Porcello passed every test the Red Sox were looking for in his two-start Minor League rehab assignment and simply needs to get through a Sunday bullpen session without incident to move back into the rotation.
Look for Porcello to slot back into the rotation on Wednesday, when the Red Sox complete a three-game series against the White Sox.
That would be the regular day in the rotation for Henry Owens, but the fact the lefty was taking batting practice before Saturday's game would lead one to believe the Red Sox are holding him back to pitch in New York against the Mets next weekend.
