| News: Doubront tossed six innings of two-run ball Tuesday, allowing five hits and two walks to go with three strikeouts, during the Red Sox's tight loss at the White Sox. | Impact: A potential no-hit bid by White Sox starter Jose Quintana was broken up in the seventh inning, but Doubront's teammates were only able to muster one run total off Chicago pitching Tuesday. Doubront himself induced 10 ground-ball outs, but his sole mistake ended up in the left field seats in the form of a two-run blast. He'll follow up his third quality start of 2013 on Sunday versus Cleveland, who he held to two runs in five innings earlier this season.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Doubront did not get a decision in Thursday's 4-3 win at Tampa Bay. | Impact: Doubront gave up two runs, three hits, six walks and had seven strikeouts over five-plus innings for the Red Sox, who are 6-9 in May. He threw 104 pitches, including 54 strikes. "I felt a lot better," Doubront said.(STATS, 4:50pm) |

| News: Doubront walked a career-high six batters in five innings Thursday in Tampa Bay, but allowed only three hits and struck out seven. | Impact: It took Doubront 104 pitches (just 54 for strikes) to labor through five innings, so this isn't really the big step forward he was looking for. Doubront's lost velocity stayed lost, too, as he was hovering around 90-91. Still, the left-hander was able to work out of a couple of jams and the Red Sox are viewing the outing as a positive.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Doubront threw an extra bullpen session between starts to work on changing the stride of his delivery, the Boston Herald reports. | Impact: Doubront, who had his start pushed back to Thursday, has experienced decreased velocity in his fastball. With Franklin Morales (chest) progressing on a rehab assignment and Allen Webster pitching well in Triple-A, the Red Sox have some depth if they want to make a switch in the starting rotation.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Doubront's next start will come next Thursday against Tampa Bay, the Providence Journal reports. He'll be working on seven days rest. | Impact: The Red Sox are using an off day Monday to shuffle the rotation a bit, allowing them to split up Doubront and John Lackey, the two pitchers least likely to give Boston deep outings at this stage of the season.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Doubront is expected to take his next turn through the starting rotation, but Red Sox manager John Farrell hasn't determined when that will be, the Providence Journal reports. Farrell is still committed to the idea of Doubront making his next start after being replaced this week by Allen Webster, but he's weighing a few factors before announcing an expected date. | Impact: Beyond the drop in velocity Doubront's experiencing, the Red Sox have an off day coming up, so they can use that to tweak the rotation. In addition, there are concerns about taxing the bullpen when pitching Doubront and John Lackey on back-to-back days. Neither hurler gives the Red Sox length at this time -- Doubront because of inefficiency and Lackey because he's coming off Tommy John surgery.(RotoWire, ) |
