Buehler, therefore, should start Friday when the Red Sox return home to Boston to play the Twins.
Giolito posted a 5.19 ERA in five rehab starts between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester . But Cora said the veteran righty is "healthy and ready ."
Some injury updates:
~Starter Kutter Crawford (right patellar tendinopathy) flew to Fort Myers on Thursday to resume his rehab there. He will throw one more bullpen session "and then it's (a) live BP at the end of next week," Cora said.
~Starter Richard Fitts (pectoral strain) is playing catch. "I think it's up to 120 (feet)," Alex Cora said.

~Outfielder Masataka Yoshida (offseason right shoulder labral repair) is still not close to a rehab assignment, Cora said. "Just taking at-bats down there (Fort Myers) and his throwing program."
~ Catcher Connor Wong (fractured pinky) began a rehab assignment for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. He's batting second in the WooSox lineup. The plan is for him to play seven innings. "We'll play it day by day and we don't have to rush him," Cora said.
