Zito to Return To Rotation

Well, looks like that stint in the bullpen did the trick - even though he never pitched. Barry Zito is scheduled to start tomorrow.

"Barry's going to start. He's a starter," Bruce Bochy said. "We felt we had to break it up and give him a break. We were hoping we cold get him out there (in relief) a couple of times. Now, that didn't happen, so he's going back into the rotation."

Looks like they went with the "skip a start" strategy that I was hoping for, only they called it a demotion to the bullpen.
