LOS ANGELES -- The Red Sox placed catcher Ryan Hanigan on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday with left ankle tendinitis and added catcher Bryan Holaday to the roster.
Boston claimed Holaday off waivers on Friday from Texas. Holaday hit .238 with two home runs and 13 RBIs in 30 games for the Rangers.
"I had no idea about anything. It is just one of those things that has worked out for the best," Holaday said. "I'm still in shock that I am here, but I couldn't be more excited to put on a Red Sox uniform.
