Johnson (personal) returned to the roster of Triple-A Pawtucket and started Sunday's game. He allowed four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out one in three innings.

Johnson made it back to Pawtucket after spending the last two months on the temporary inactive list to seek treatment for anxiety. He made four rehab starts, two apiece for the rookie Gulf Coast League Red Sox and at short-season Lowell, and posted considerably better results than we saw Sunday.
