Red Sox seemingly preparing to promote top pitching prospect to join bullpen

The Boston Red Sox on July 29 promoted top pitching prospect David Sandlin to Triple-A Worcester in preparation for a potential role in Boston's bullpen down the stretch. An August 19 update from Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazzette suggests Red Sox fans could see him in action soon.

Cassell tweeted that the WooSox will give Sandlin his first back-to-back appearances out of the bullpen sometime this week. It'll be uncharted territory for the righty in his young professional career, as he was brought up through Boston's system as a starter.
