The PawSox are in a three-way tie for second place in the IL North a half-game behind the IronPigs, who have won the first two games of the series by identical 4-1 scores. Beeks Brilliance With an only-increasing, what-will-he-do-next feel to his starts, Jalen Beeks makes his sixth start of the season this morning. The 24-year old left-hander from Arkansas is tied for first in all of Minor League Baseball in strikeouts (46). His K/9 IP rate of leads all qualifying minor league starters, as does his 42.6% strikeout rate (strikeouts out of batters faced).

PAWSOX PLAYER MOVES Today, the PawSox activated INF/OF Tzu-Wei Lin following his option from Boston on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, INF Chad De La Guerra was transferred to Double-A Portland. On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox recalled INF/OF Brock Holt from his injury rehab assignment with the PawSox and activated him in time for Tuesday s game in New York. The Red Sox optioned Lin to Pawtucket to make room for Holt. Holt went 1-for-3 playing 6-innings at SS for the PawSox at Lehigh Valley in his lone rehab game with Pawtucket. He had been on Boston s disabled list since April 27 with a left hamstring strain suffered when he safely ran out a double on April 26 at Toronto in his first and only at-bat of that game before being removed. He is hitting.340 (17-for-50) with a.400 on-base percentage, 6 2B, 1 HR, and 7 RBI in 16 games with the Red Sox this season (10 at SS, 5 at 2B, and 1 in RF). Lin, 24, has played 14 games for the Red Sox this season, making seven starts at shortstop and two at second base and posting a.188 average (6-for-32) with three runs scored, two doubles, and four walks. Lin began the season with two games for Pawtucket (both at SS), reaching base in five of eight plate appearances (going 3-for-6 with 2 walks) before being recalled to Boston on April 10. Ranked by Baseball America as the No. 21 prospect in the Red Sox organization, he has spent his entire professional career in the Red Sox system since signing as an international free agent in June In 39 major league games since his 2017 debut, the infielder has hit.239 (21-for-88) with two doubles, two triples, and 13 walks. On Tuesday, the Red Sox also sent RHP Steven Wright to Pawtucket on a rehab assignment. Wright has been on Boston s restricted list since April 28 when he was recalled from his first rehab assignment with Pawtucket, activated by the Red Sox, then placed on the restricted list for 15 games to serve a suspension per Major League Baseball s domestic policy. Per MLB rules, a player on the restricted list can begin a rehab assignment when he has 6 games or less remaining on his suspension. Wright has missed the last 9 Red Sox games since April 28. Before Tuesday s steady 6-inning relief performance, Steven made two starts for the PawSox (without receiving a decision) on his original injury rehab assignment that began on April 20. He started on April 20 at home vs. Gwinnett but left in the 3 rd inning with lower back stiffness 2.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO. On April 27 he started at Buffalo 5+ IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO. Wright underwent cartilage restoration surgery on his left knee one year ago Tuesday (last May 8). He has now spent time in Pawtucket in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and In the big leagues (all with Boston) he is with a 3.97 ERA in 55 games (40 starts). He was limited to just 5 starts with the Red Sox last season (1-3, 8.25), and none after April 30, before being placed on the disabled list for the remainder of the year. Steven was named to the 2016 American League All-Star Team and finished that year with a 13-6 record and a 3.33 ERA in 24 starts for the Red Sox. His ERA was 10 th best in the American League and his 4 complete games

4 ranked tied for 3 rd in all of Major League Baseball. Originally a member of the Cleveland Indians organization, he spent his first four years in the minor leauges as a traditional pitcher before converting to a knuckleball pitcher at the beginning of the 2011 season. The PawSox are at the roster limit with 25 active players (rehabbing RHP Steven Wright does not count against the roster). 1B Sam Travis (April 30 with left intercostal strain) and pitchers Fernando Rodriguez, Jr. (April 9 with hamstring) & Tommy Layne (beginning of season with elbow) are on the PawSox disabled list. Infielder Tzu-Wei Lin became the first player promoted from Pawtucket to Boston this season on April 10 (before returning on May 8). Marcus Walden was #2 following his quick recall on April 12 and then another recall on May 2 (but he is now back with the PawSox). And Bobby Poyner became the third call-up (who is not a rehabber) on May 4 but has returned to Pawtucket. The PawSox have also employed six different Red Sox players on a rehab assignment already this season LHP Drew Pomeranz (now back in Boston), RHP Steven Wright (now for the second time), LHP Bobby Poyner (optioned to Pawtucket), INF Xander Bogaerts (since returned to Boston), RHP Tyler Thornburg (now rehabbing in Portland) and INF/OF Brock Holt (now back with Boston).

Pawtucket employed 55 different players last season (28 pitchers & 27 position players). They had 18 different players promoted to Boston during the 2017 season (not including rehabbing players).

The Sox used 57 players in 2016, 62 different players in 2015, and they employed 61 different players during the 2014 regular-season (that number rose to 66 players including the post-season).
