RHP Chris Smith Added To Pen

The Red Sox will have an extra arm in the bullpen tomorrow, as they call up right-handed pitcher Chris Smith from Pawtucket and send outfielder Jonathan Van Every back down.

Sox Prospects on Smith:

Average fastball with power breaking curve. ... Throws off-speed pitches for strikes, often at unexpected counts. Pounds the strike zone with great command, doesn't walk many batters. Also has an effective knuckle-curve.

Smith, who turned 27 last month, has pitched in 10 games for the PawSox this season -- four starts and six relief appearances:

         G   IP    H   BB    K    ERA   AVG
Start    4   21   14    6   18   1.71  .187
Relief   6   10    7    1   10   0.90  .189
        10   31   21    7   28   1.45  .188

Van Every played in one game.
