Promotions for Lavarnway, Weiland & Spears

When the rosters expanded to 40 players on September 1, the Red Sox only made one call up and that was pitcher Felix Doubront.  On Monday, the Sox called up three more players who could play an integral role as reserves for the final month of the season.

Catcher Ryan Lavarnway, right handed pitcher Kyle Weiland and infielder/outfielder Nate Spears were all summoned from Pawtucket AAA on holiday Monday.  For Lavarnway and Weiland it’s their second stint in the majors this season, while Spears is getting his first glimpse of the major league lifestyle.
