Red Sox Matt Barnes Up, Justin Masterson Starts
Ah, the life of a minor league player.
The Boston Red Sox, according to Gordon Edes of ESPN, have recalled relief pitcher Matt Barnes and sent infielder Travis Shaw back to Pawtucket. “With Hanley Ramirez still day to day because of his bruised left wrist, that leaves manager John Farrell with just two bench players: infielder Deven Marrero and catcher Blake Swihart. But with two Sox starters, Joe Kelly [recently sent down] and Eduardo Rodriguez, getting knocked out early in the past week, Farrell has had to use his pen extensively and preferred to have the extra arm in Barnes.”
