BOSTON --- Prior to his Saturday start in Triple-A Durham, Chase Whitley was sitting in the clubhouse watching Friends when he was told he was scratched.
Though he was interrupted in the midst of one of his favorite shows, he had an inkling why, and soon after began gathering his belongings to head north to Boston.
"Yesterday, about an hour before our game started down in Durham, they called me in and told me I was scratched," Whitley said. "From there I kind of knew what was going on. Shortly after, they said I was coming up, so I was on a flight this morning.
