"The Boston Red Sox placed Dan Wheeler and Bobby Jenks on the disabled list not long ago, but Wheeler is set to start a rehab already, tweets Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe. Relievers tend to work through their rehabs quickly, so Wheeler, who was assigned to Triple-A Pawtucket, could be back as early as next week if all goes well. The club may want to see him pitch on back-to-back days while showing some consistency and making enough appearances to rebuild his arm strength (ESPN)."
I was really pumped when the Red Sox signed Wheeler in the offseason. Obviously the beginning of this year was a disappointment, but hopefully he can get right when he returns to the MLB. The Sox could certainly use help in the bullpen, especially on days that Lackey pitches.
There is still no word on Jenks and when he may be back, but I would assume it's not going to be anytime close to when Wheeler returns.
