Wade Miller Out Until May

Wade Miller will miss the month of April as he continues rehabbing his right shoulder. He says he'll "take it slow now and miss the beginning of the season and, hopefully, come back for the last five months."

Curt Schilling will likely not be ready by Opening Day either, leaving Boston with four starters -- David Wells, Matt Clement, Tim Wakefield and Bronson Arroyo. This shouldn't be a problem, since the Red Sox have 3 off days from April 4-12.

April 3 - At New York
April 4 - Off
April 5 - At New York
April 6 - At New York
April 7 - Off
April 8 - At Toronto
April 9 - At Toronto
April 10 - At Toronto
April 11 - New York
April 12 - Off
April 13 - New York

After that, Boston's next off-day is April 28, but Schilling should be set by then. ... This afternoon's game against Florida was rained out. The Red Sox play the Dodgers tomorrow.
