DENVER (AP) — The Boston Red Sox recalled outfielder Josh Reddick from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday.
Reddick arrived at Coors Field early before the Red Sox played at Colorado.
To make room for Reddick, Boston returned right-handed pitcher Robert Manuel to Pawtucket. Manuel was called up on June 19, but never made an appearance while with the club.
Manager Terry Francona said the move was made because he needed an extra outfielder. J.D. Drew was still slowed by a strained right hamstring.
