OAKLAND -- The Red Sox shuffled their pitching staff once again Sunday, recalling right-handed reliever Brandon Workman from Triple-A Pawtucket and optioning Noe Ramirez to the PawSox. It marks the third roster move involving pitchers since the Red Sox arrived in Oakland on Thursday.
Workman, 28, returns to Boston for his second stint with the club this season. He made one relief appearance for the Red Sox on May 4, throwing three scoreless innings. In eight outings for the PawSox, Workman posted a 1.98 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings of work.
