BOSTON -- Based on the way right-hander Noe Ramirez was used through the Boston Red Sox's first 12 games, it was clear he has not yet earned manager John Farrell's confidence.
Heath Hembree is about to get his turn to make a better impression.
The Red Sox optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday and recalled Hembree, who will be available for the opener of a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday at Fenway Park.
