The Red Sox sent struggling outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. to Triple-A Pawtucket before Friday's game.
Bradley was sent down earlier this season after opening the year 0 for 11. In his second stint with the Red Sox, he was 4 for 22 (.182).
“The numbers are what they are,” manager John Farrell said per WEEI. “But, what you do see is a swing path that I think is more consistent than what it was a year ago. That was evident in spring training and he’s carried it through. He hasn’t had the production at the big league level. We know that there is a sizable gap between Triple-A and here and yet Jackie is still working his way to get his feet on the ground and be a consistent performer here.”
To replace Bradley on the roster, Boston called up Noe Ramirez , who was 4-0, 2.42 at Pawtucket.
