Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz is expected to make one rehab start before returning to Boston's rotation after going on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein says the right-hander is going to pitch three or four innings Friday in Syracuse. Epstein said Wednesday that Buchholz is ''healthy but we want him to test it.''

Third baseman Adrian Beltre, who had his hamstring tighten the day before the All-Star break, is not expected to go on the disabled list.

Pitcher Josh Beckett will make his second rehab start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday. He has been sidelined since May with a lower back strain.
