After being swept for the second series in a row and the Red Sox still unable to get a win they are doing what they can to improve the team. According to Boston.com’s Extra Bases the Red Sox have sent right-handed reliever Matt Albers to the disabled list and have called up right hander Alfredo Aceves.
This is comes as somewhat of a surprise to me reason being Albers last appearance for the Red Sox was a good one. In his last two appearances he hasn’t given up a run or a hit and on Tuesday struck out the side. It looks as if Albers is suffering from “sore late muscle behind his shoulder,” that has landed him on the DL.
The Red Sox calling up Aceves was ever more surprising since he had the nod to start tonight’s opening night game in Pawtucket. That didn’t happen and Scott Atchison got the start and got passed up. Atchison who most believed to the first call up on the roster was passed over for Aceves which has to be discouraging after his pitching performance last season for the Sox.
Aceves appeared in five games this spring for the Red Sox with two being in the starter role. He went 0-1 with a 4.05 ERA and an impressive four strike outs in 13.1 innings of work.
