Starter-turned-reliever Joe Kelly part of Red Sox's first wave of call-ups

BOSTON -- Yoan Moncada will hog the headlines, but he won't be the only player to join the Boston Red Sox on Friday.

To mark the annual expansion of major league rosters in September, relievers Joe Kelly and Robby Scott and infielder Deven Marrero will be called up from Triple-A Pawtucket, the Red Sox announced late Thursday night. In addition, catcher Ryan Hanigan will be reinstated from the disabled list after missing nearly all of August with left ankle tendinitis.

Scott, a 27-year-old left-hander, is a somewhat surprising addition considering he hadn't been on the Red Sox's 40-man roster.
