BOSTON (AP) - Curt Schilling was activated Wednesday after spending 2 1/2 months on the disabled list, and will be in the bullpen when the Boston Red Sox begin the second half of the season Thursday night against the New York Yankees.
Schilling is expected to work in relief until he's ready to pitch long enough to reclaim his spot in the rotation after going on the disabled list April 29 with a bone bruise in his right ankle.
"I'm excited, I'm nervous," Schilling said backstage Wednesday night at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles. "We come out of the gate with the New York Yankees and it's going to get hot fast. It's a World Series atmosphere in July. I feel good, I'm as ready as I can be."
