According to Michael Vega of the Boston Globe, Hideki Okajima has been called up by the Boston Red Sox. Okajima will be taking the place of Felix Doubront who was optioned back to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Okie lost out in the battle for the left-handed bullpen spot during spring training but has pitched well for the PawSox. In five appearances over 5 2/3 innings, Okie has allowed just two hits with no walks and has recorded five strikeouts.
