BoSox send JJ down

The Boston Red Sox have sent recently-aquired RHP Jason Johnson down to the Class A Wilmington. Johnson was sent down to Class A because of schedling issues, apparently - neither AA Portland nor AAA Pawtucket have a start Wednesday, and the team wanted Johnson back on the mound as soon as possible.
Johnson is 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA in his two appearances in Boston. Whether he'll make another start in Boston is highly questionable at this point, but manager Terry Francona and GM Theo Epstein apparently both still feel he can be successful if he gets past recent difficulties.
