Schilling to return this weekend

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Curt Schilling will return to the Boston Red Sox rotation on Sunday when he's activated from the disabled list for a start at Seattle.

Schilling has been sidelined since mid-June with tendinitis in his right shoulder, but now he's set to come back for the AL East-leading Red Sox. He threw seven shutout innings in his last start for Triple-A Pawtucket Tuesday night and in 15 innings during his rehabilitation stint he allowed no runs, no walks and fanned 18 batters.

Schilling is 6-4 with a 4.20 ERA in 15 games this season.
