John Smoltz will make his pitching debut for the Red Sox on June 25 against the Nationals.

Smoltz hasn't pitched in the majors since June 2, 2008, when he appeared in one inning as the closer of the Braves.

He is scheduled to make his sixth rehab start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday night.

"I'm not too excited yet because I want to get through [Wednesday's start]," Smoltz said. "Then I'll start for the first time in a year [to] look at film. I've been wanting to look at film for a while."
