Lester to Pawtucket
The Red Sox announced three roster moves this afternoon.
The team sent pitcher Jon Lester to Pawtucket on a rehab assignment. Lester will pitch for the PawSox tonight in Ottawa.
The Red Sox also recalled righthanded pitcher Devern Hansack from Pawtucket before tonight’s game against the Braves. Hansack (1-4, 3.89 ERA in six starts this season in Triple-A) will start tonight against Atlanta.
To make room for Hansack, the Red Sox placed pitcher Josh Beckett on the DL with an avulsion on his right middle finger. The move is retroactive to May 14.
