Barry Zito News: Zito will start Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Zito will start Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Zito will start in place of Chad Gaudin, who was placed on the DL on Tuesday with carpal tunnel syndrome. Depending on how long Gaudin is out, Zito could replace him in the rotation, although the Giants also called up Mike Kickham, who could push for the spot as well. Since his transition to the bullpen, Zito has struggled to the tune of a 10.80 ERA over 5.0 innings.
