I'm not sure what the reason for this recent move is? Maybe they just wanted to give him some time off before his next start?
As reported by By Amalie Benjamin of the Globe Staff on Boston.com
Red Sox lefty Jon Lester was sent down to Double-A Portland today. Lester is 2-0 with a 5.67 ERA in six starts since being recalled from Pawtucket on July 23.
Lester will miss one start and is scheduled to return to start for the Red Sox on September 2.
Julian Tavarez is expected to take Lester's start on Sunday.The team recalled lefthanded pitcher Javier Lopez from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Lopez is 2-1 with a 3.17 ERA in 17 appearances with Pawtucket this season. He has not allowed a run in his last seven outings with the PawSox, covering 3.1 innings. The lefthander will be making his third stint with the Red Sox this season and is 2-1 with a 2.87 ERA in 44 appearances.
In other news, lets hope the weather holds and we get tonight's game in. Beckett is going for his 16th win and pitching against Danks who is 6-11 on the season.

First three games in Chicago and three blow outs. Meanwhile the spankees lose in extra innings to Detroit. 7.0 ahead with the spankees and tigers just starting. Woo woo
I heard that Jon Lester was sent down to AA because he hasn't been Soxy enough!
Like you: You're so Soxy
Much Soxier than the Yankee Chick.

Could you leave her a message and give her a little insight on how to be Soxy, like yourself. That Yankee Chick thang just isn't cutt'in it for her!
