San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy announced before the start of Tuesday's gave at Pittsburgh that pitcher Barry Zito, demoted to the bullpen a week ago, will return to the starting rotation Wednesday night against the Pirates.
Zito, who is 0-6 with a 7.53 ERA, is in the second year of a seven-year, $126 million contract. He did not make any relief appearances.
Zito is only the third pitcher since 1956 to have an 0-6 record by May 1. The other two were Texas' Dave Stewart in 1984 and Detroit's Mike Maroth in 2003.
