Red Sox push Doug Fister's start back to Thursday

Boston Red Sox pitcher Doug Fister will start Thursday versus the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

Fister was originally scheduled to toe the rubber Tuesday for Boston, but he's been pushed back after providing 2 2/3 innings of relief during Saturday's 16-inning loss to the New York Yankees. Chris Sale has also been bumped back a day to Friday. Brian Johnson will make a spot start tonight as the Red Sox take on J.A. Happ and the Blue Jays in a battle of left-handed hurlers.

Fister owns a 6.75 ERA, 1.79 WHIP, and 18.3 strikeout percentage in 4 games (3 starts) for the Red Sox this season.
