To shore up their pitching staff after last night's slugfest, the Sox have recalled lefty Fabio Castro from Triple-A Pawtucket and optioned OF Josh Reddick back to the minors.
This from the release:
Castro, 25, will be in his second stint with the Red Sox this season, also April 27-28, but has not appeared in a game with the club. He has made 17 appearances (five starts) for the PawSox this year, going 3-5 with a 6.65 ERA (32 ER/43.1 IP), 36 strikeouts and 22 walks. The left-hander is 3-2 with a 4.26 ERA (12 ER/25.1 IP) in his 12 relief appearances and is 1-1 with a 3.46 mark (5 ER/13.0 IP) in his last eight outings, all out of the bullpen. Castro is in his first season in the Red Sox organization after signing as a free agent in December. In 30 career Major League games (one start) over parts of two seasons with Texas (2006) and Philadelphia (2006-07), he is 0-1 with one save and a 3.30 ERA (16 ER/43.2 IP).
The 23-year-old Reddick was recalled on Tuesday (June 22) for his third stint with the Red Sox and started each of the last three games in right field, going 1-for-8 (.125) with a walk. In 11 games overall with Boston in 2010, he is 4-for-25 (.160) with a double, triple, two RBI, two runs and a walk. He has also appeared in 57 games with the PawSox this season, hitting .218 (47-for-216) with six home runs and 27 RBI.
