Covey, who has an 8.28 ERA over five starts, will make his next start expected Saturday against the Padres, Paul Skrbina of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Manager Rick Renteria wasn't committing to Covey taking his next turn in the rotation immediately after the right-hander allowed six runs and 10 hits in his start last Saturday. With Carlos Rodon (biceps) still on a mound in Arizona and James Shields (shoulder) not having pitched since April 16, immediate help is not on the way, so Covey will get another opportunity.
