BALTIMORE (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have recalled outfielder Josh Reddick from Triple-A Pawtucket and optioned reliever Scott Atchison to the same minor league club.
The move was made Saturday, less than 24 hours after Boston outfielder Jeremy Hermida bruised his left forearm in a game against the Baltimore Orioles. Hermida also hurt his chest, although he said Saturday he could play if needed.
But Red Sox manager Terry Francona decided the team needed an extra outfielder, so Reddick was summoned and was placed in the starting lineup Saturday against the Orioles.
Atchison has gone back and forth between Pawtucket and Boston this season. He’s 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in nine games.
