Roster Moves to Come for Red Sox

Clay Buchholz will start Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader.

Various reports agree that Wily Mo Pena is likely to be let go in order to make room for Buchholz, but now it sounds like Jacoby Ellsbury, rather than Bobby Kielty, will then replace Pena for Game 2.

He will be flown into Boston today, from Ottawa, where the PawSox are playing, and is expected to be at Fenway Park this afternoon at 3 p.m.

Jacoby Ellsbury is also expected to be called up to the Red Sox tomorrow.

Ellsbury will likely be added to the roster for the second game of the doubleheader, taking the spot of Buchholz, who will then be sent back to Pawtucket.

The Sox need to free up a space on the roster for the Buchholz/Ellsbury combination.

The lefthanded-hitting Ellsbury is not expected to stay very long on the Red Sox roster.
