It took only six games for someone from the Boston Red Sox to head to the disabled list. And for Alfredo Aceves, it means he may get a chance to pitch against his old team, the New York Yankees this weekend.

Earlier on Thursday night, Aceves was scratched from his start with the Pawtucket Red Sox prompting speculation that there would be a roster move with the big club. And now we know what that move will be.

According to Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe, the Red Sox will place Matt Albers on the disabled list and Aceves will take his place in the bullpen.

Ironically enough, Alber has been one of the better relievers during the opening six-game losing streak. In two innings of work, he hasn’t allowed a run and has walked two to go along with three strikeouts.

Now this is complete speculation on my part but it wouldn’t surprise me if we see Dennys Reyes getting designated for assignment or put on the disabled list with an “injury”. Reyes has pretty much stunk up the joint in his three outings so far this season. Rich Hill or Hideki Okajima would be candidates to replace him should something happen with Reyes.

STORRS, Conn. – Governor Dannel P. Malloy announced on Wednesday that the Hartford Business Improvement District will host a victory parade and rally on Sunday, April 17, to congratulate and honor the University of Connecticut Men’s Basketball Team for winning the National Championship Game of the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament.

The victory parade, which will begin and end at the State Capitol, will start at 3:00 p.m. on April 17 and wind around Bushnell Park, Main Street and Capitol Avenue. A victory rally with the coaches and players will take place on the north steps of the Capitol building immediately following the parade. Parade and rally organizers are relying on private funds to support both events.

“We’ve known for quite some time, but now the country knows, too – this is UConn Country. Fans of all ages from across Connecticut will come together and show the players the pride that we have in our championship-winning UConn men’s basketball team,” Governor Malloy said. “On April 17, we will show our support by cheering on the team from the parade route, wearing our blue and white Huskies gear, and celebrating the 2011 men’s championship team with a victory celebration in Hartford.”

The Governor added, “I want to thank the Hartford Business Improvement District for again hosting this event, organizing its sponsors, and allowing Connecticut residents to once again celebrate another national championship team from our state.”

The parade will begin at the State Capitol, travel north on Trinity Street, take a right on Jewell Street, turn left on Gold Street, take a right on Main Street, and finally turn right onto Capitol Avenue before returning to the State Capitol where the rally will be held.
