BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox right-hander Bret Saberhagen will make a rehabilitation start for the team's Double-A affiliate in Trenton, N.J., on Sunday.
Saberhagen, 37, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, has not pitched in the major leagues since he went 10-6 with a 2.95 earned-run average for the Red Sox in 1999. He had surgery to repair the rotator cuff in his right shoulder last season, and experienced shoulder discomfort at the end of spring training.
Saberhagen, who has a 166-115 career record, had two impressive outings in spring training and appeared headed back to the team's starting rotation. But he was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to March 30.
Sunday's game is against the Portland Sea Dogs.
