Still slated to start game 6 which is on Wednesday. Yesterday would have been his normal bullpen day in-between starts. Generally a starter will pitch an inning or so in the bullpen (not in the game) in the middle of starts. I have seen this a time or two where the starter will pitch that inning in an actual game in the playoffs. Not unheard of.
Actually I don't think the starters are in shambles at all. Lester goes on normal rest tonight and the same with Lackey (Wed) and Peavy (Thurs). Bucholtz will be available for a few innings on Thurs.
