From the AJC:
Redman could start upon return Friday
Mark Redman can be activated from the DL Friday and is being considered for the start in that night's series opener at Boston.
The Braves are deliberating whether to start him or give Anthony Lerew a third turn in the rotation. Lerew struggled Sunday in a 13-2 loss at Pittsburgh, allowing seven hits and five runs in 32/3 innings.
"I don't know, we'll see," Cox said. "Right now it's Lerew."
Redman (0-4, 10.62 ERA) had surgery for an ingrown toenail on his left big toe. He pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings (five hits, two walks) in a win for Class AAA Richmond Sunday in his first rehab start.
"[Redman] can come back right now," Cox said, meaning he doesn't require more rehab. "He's fine. His toe's good."
Something else to consider: Redman is 1-9 with an 8.13 ERA vs. Boston, including 1-5 with a 7.76 ERA in seven games (six starts) at Fenway Park.
In his first start May 8, Lerew allowed two runs and two hits (home runs) in six innings vs. San Diego.
