Pat Light Called Up By Red Sox As Team Shuffles Roster Again

For the fourth time in a span of six days, the Boston Red Sox have moved their roster around, particularly their beleaguered pitching staff.

Pat Light Called Up By Red Sox As Team Shuffles Roster Again

The team recalled left-hander Henry Owens, who will start on Sunday night against the Houston Astros. The Red Sox also added right-handed reliever Pat Light from Triple A Pawtucket. 

Lefthander Roenis Elias and righthander Noe Ramirez were optioned back to Triple A after Saturday’s game.

This will be Light’s, 25, very first time on the major-league roster. A supplemental first-round (37th overall) pick in 2012, the 6-foot-5 Light appeared in five games for Pawtucket, giving up three runs on three hits in 6 2/3 innings for a 4.05 ERA. He struck out 10 and walked three, and opponents are hitting just 0.130 against him. He became a reliever after the 2014 season.

Light has played 31 games with Pawtucket in the last two seasons, and has struck out an impressive 45 in 39 2/3 innings, but also walked 29.

Elias made his debut with the Red Sox on Saturday and allowed three runs on four hits — all doubles — in 1 2/3 innings. Ramirez has appeared in four of the last seven games and nine overall this season. He has a 5.79 ERA.
