Asher will start Friday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
The 25-year-old Asher was knocked around for six runs in just two innings against Houston on Sunday, but Baltimore will not reverse course and return Ubaldo Jimenez to the rotation -- not yet anyway. Jimenez went six innings in relief of Asher and allowed just two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and zero walks. Another poor showing from Asher could result in the two players flip-flopping roles once again.
