Red Sox to call up veteran infielder Brandon Phillips on Tuesday

The Boston Red Sox will call up veteran infielder Brandon Phillips on Tuesday.

Phillips signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox in late June and has played in 38 games with Triple-A Pawtucket, posting a slashline of .302/.348/.477 with four home runs and 19 RBIs.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced the planned move prior to Monday's game in Atlanta.

"He's done an outstanding job, from everything I've heard," Cora said. "He's played second and third. He had plenty of opt-outs and stayed with the team. Sometimes, it's not about rewarding people because he's a talented player, but I do feel that, hey man, he wants to be part of this.
