Manager John Gibbons will push R.A. Dickey back to Monday and keep Ramon Ortiz and Mark Buehrle on turn Tuesday and Wednesday. 

Jenkins impressed during his first turn in the rotation. He earned a win over five innings at Boston. He allowed two runs on seven hits with two strikeouts. There is no word when he's next scheduled to take the mound, though he could be used in relief. 

The decision previously was put on hold due to the possibility that one or both of those pitchers could have been needed in the bullpen.

"We're good, we're fresh down there," manager John Gibbons said of his bullpen. "[Jenkins] was in case something happened to Buehrle really early or something."

Jenkins held Boston to just two earned runs Sunday and impressed general manager Alex Anthopoulos in the process. The GM said it was the best he's ever seen Jenkins perform. 

The Blue Jays have tabbed Jenkins' next start to come either Monday or Tuesday at home against Tampa Bay. Because that start is a week away, Jenkins was available to pitch out of the bullpen Wednesday. 

The right-hander, who threw 58 of 90 pitches for strikes, allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk in five innings. Jenkins allowed a solo home run to Mike Napoli leading off the fourth inning and he struck out two.

If Jenkins remains in the rotation, then his next scheduled start will be Saturday at the Yankees.
