Boston Red Sox

Timlin up; Romero out

As expected, the Red Sox officially announced the activation of reliever Mike Timlin from the 15-day disabled list this afternoon. Timlin will be in uniform and available against the Diamondbacks tonight in Arizona.

The Red Sox designated lefthanded reliever J.C.Romero for assignment to make room for Timlin on the active roster. The team has 10 days to either trade or release Romero. Romero was 1-0 with a save and a 3.15 ERA in 23 games this season.
