Covey, who has an 8.28 ERA over five starts, will make his next start Saturday against the Padres, Paul Skrbina of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Rick Renteria was committing to Covey taking his next turn in the rotation after the right-hander allowed six runs and 10 hits in his start last Saturday. With Carlos Rodon (biceps) still on a mound in Arizona and James Shields (shoulder) not having pitched since April 16, immediate help is not on the way.
