Well, this is a nice surprise. The Red Sox and Tigers are playing a doubleheader on Tuesday, and with that they are allowed to call up a 26th man to the active roster for the day. Generally speaking this 26th man is almost always a pitcher as teams want an extra fresh arm so as to not destroy the bullpen between the two games. That is still going to be the case for Boston despite carrying 13 pitches already. I had predicted Chandler Shepherd would be the call as a guy in Triple-A, already on the 40-man and who can give some length.
