Is Abe on the way out?

The belief is that Jon Lester will be optioned to Pawtucket after his start there tonight. See the Providence Journal story.

If Lester is added to the Pawsox rotation, who goes? Kason Gabbard, David Pauley, Devern Hansack are all on the 40-man roster. Runelvys Hernandez was signed in the off season and has a 0.68 ERA. Abe Alvarez, who was removed from the 40-man roster, could be the odd man out. Alvarez, a second-round pick, is 1-3 with a 6.41 ERA.
