Zach Penrod, a 27-year-old left-hander who spent three years in an independent league, was brought up by the Boston Red Sox and in position for a possible big league debut.

Boston selected Zach Penrod's contract from Worcester on Saturday and recalled left-hander Bailey Horn from the Triple-A farm team. Left-hander Cam Booser and right-hander Zack Kelly were optioned to Worcester after Friday night's 5-4 loss to the New York Yankees and catcher Tyler Heineman was designated for assignment.

Penrod's wife, Kyla, and week-old daughter, Noa Mae, were expected to be at Yankee Stadium.
