Red Sox activate Steve Pearce from injured list ahead of Oakland finale

Per Mike Cole of NESN.com, the Red Sox will be activating Steve Pearce from the injured list ahead of Thursday afternoon’s series finale in Oakland. Steve Pearce hasn’t played during the regular season as he injured his hamstring during spring training. Pearce had only played in 7 spring training games where he posted a .176 BA with 2 HR and 4 RBI.

In order to make room for Pearce, the Red Sox optioned prospect Sam Travis down to Pawtucket. Pearce is coming off a season where he would see some of the highest success of his career.
