Red Sox option Kyle Kendrick, recall lefty reliever Robbie Ross

Remember back in spring training when Kyle Kendrick was making a strong case for earning a spot in the Boston Red Sox rotation? It didn’t take long for the team to realize they weren’t going to get that type of performance out of him once the games began to count.

The Red Sox optioned Kendrick to Triple-A Pawtucket after the left-hander took the loss and surrendered six earned runs for the second time in as many starts.

Kendrick has lasted a total of only 8 1/3 innings over which he’s allowed 12 earned runs for a brutal 12.
