Red Sox call up right-handed pitcher Josh Smith to start vs Rays
The Boston Red Sox have called right-handed pitcher Josh Smith up from Pawtucket to start Friday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Only a handful of hours before the Boston Red Sox were set to take the field Friday night, we still weren’t certain who they would be sending to the mound. Now we have our answer.
Right-handed pitcher Josh Smith has been called up from Triple-A Pawtucket to make a spot start against the Tampa Bay Rays. Reliever Travis Lakins, who flashed potential in his brief stint with the big league club, has been optioned to Pawtucket to clear a spot on the 25-man roster.
