TORONTO -- The Red Sox made what should be their final September callup on Friday, recalling lefty Henry Owens from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Unlike last year, when Owens pitched for the Red Sox every fifth day in September, he is essentially an insurance policy this time in case someone in the starting rotation is injured.
Clay Buchholz is currently filling in for knuckleballer Steven Wright, who is out with a right shoulder injury.
"We'll keep him stretched out as best as possible," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "We brought him here to provide some starter depth if something unforeseen were to take place.
