Pros
Baseball
Josh Reddick (Pawtucket Red Sox) — Reddick was sent down to Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday after being called up earlier in the week as two Boston outfielders, Jacoby Ellsbury and Mike Cameron, went on the disabled list.
“We really didn’t want Reddick sitting here not playing,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona told reporters Saturday afternoon. “We don’t want anything to get in the way of Reddick’s development. He needs consistent at-bats. This wasn’t an indictment on Reddick. He needs to play.”
Reddick went 1-for-4 in his return to the PawSox lineup Sunday. He is hitting .163 (7-for-43) with two doubles, a triple, a homer and six RBIs. In three games with the big club, Reddick went 1-for-6 with a double and two RBIs.
