While I was writing this morning’s news and notes for the Boston Red Sox, I suggested the Red Sox needed to make a move in the bullpen after using all but Ramon Ramirez. I did say why not give a chance to Alan Embree or Joe Nelson and then went on to say maybe they could call up a starter from Pawtucket.
Well it turns out the Red Sox are going the calling up a starter way as the local Boston media reports that Fabio Castro will be brought up from Pawtucket. He’ll take the place of Scott Atchison, who still has an option left on his contract.
Castro, a lefty, has made three starts for the PawSox and is 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 10 innings. He’s made 30 big league appearances with one start for the Texas Rangers and Philadelphia Phillies. His last appearance in the big leagues came in 2007 with the Phillies.
In those 30 appearances, Castro is 0-1 with a 3.30 ERA. He was the scheduled starter for the PawSox tonight.
