Just because it's in the minor leagues doesn't mean the innings and pitches don't count. They are probably planning on two starts so they can get a good look at where he's at and how useful he will be down the stretch. The lead is still eight games - no sense rushing him back before he's really ready and potentially losing him for even longer. Gabbard's shutout was definitely right up there with another Sox performance this season - Schilling's one-hitter against Oakland back in early June.
