Pineiro starts in Toledo
By Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff
CLEVELAND - Joel Pineiro has accepted an assignment to Pawtucket and will start tonight for the PawSox vs. Toledo.
Pineiro, 1-1 with a 5.03 ERA in 31 appearances, was designated for assignment by the Sox on Monday. He cleared waivers and rather than see if another team picked him up, decided to stay with the Sox organization. That's very rare.
The Sox tried to deal Pineiro, but there were no takers. Pineiro is scheduled to pitch three innings tonight.
