BOSTON _ Red Sox reliever Mike Timlin (knee tendinitis) will make a rehab appearance for the PawSox on Thursday.

The right-hander will throw one inning. According to manager Terry Francona, Timlin had a really good bullpen session on Tuesday. The manager said pitching coach John Farrell was pleased with the session and it’s time to get Timlin going again.

“I think it will be great for him,” said Francona referring to the minor-league rehab. “I think it will be great for him to pitch a little bit. Sometimes you can take advantage of some time to make something better.”

In 24 games for Boston this season, Timlin is 3-3 with a 7.06 ERA.
