Boston Red Sox Call Up RHP Trevor Kelley From AAA Pawtucket Red Sox On Monday

The Boston Red Sox announced on Monday afternoon that the club has called up RHP Trevor Kelley from AAA Pawtucket. They also announced that Mike Shawaryn and Sam Travis was optioned back down to AAA Pawtucket. The team also announced that Steve Pearce had his injury rehab assignment recalled today. The final announcement was that Tzu-Wei Lin was reinstated from the injured list and was assigned to AAA Pawtucket.

”If ever a guy earned it, he did,” said PawSox Manager Billy McMillon. “What he did for the first three months of the season was tremendous here. ERA less than 1.00 with the new baseballs, the amount of home runs that are getting out. To see him compete and do well, couldn’t be happier for him.”

Trevor Kelley has been lights out for the Paw Sox this season. In 28 appearances, Kelley has posted a 0.96 ERA in 37 and 2/3 innings pitched.

”He’s got enough “funk”, that hopefully he gives some hitters up there some fits and stays up there for a long time,” said McMillon.

The most impressive stat from Kelley is his splits versus right handed batters and left handed batters. Right handed batters are batting .282 against Kelley this season at AAA Pawtucket. Left handed batters are hitting only .077 against Kelley and he hasn’t allowed an earned run to a left-handed hitter through 15.2 innings.

The Red Sox still need to open up a 40-man roster spot to put Trevor Kelley on the 25 man roster. The Red Sox have an off day on Monday so they haven’t had to announced a corresponding move yet. We should expect to see a move at some point Tuesday afternoon.
