Taken by the Red Sox with the 39th pick of the 2010 draft after a stellar career at LSU, Ranaudo has overcome a series of setbacks and injuries on his way to posting one of the strongest seasons of his career in 2014.Will Middlebrooks has been activated and will be playing third base, with Xander Bogaerts sliding back over to shortstop. ... Ben Cherington said that Allen Craig will be playing left field, with Yoenis Cespedes in right. ... The Red Sox have also called up left-handed reliever Tommy Layne.
Ranaudo has been on the top pitchers in the International League this season with Triple-A Pawtucket, leading the league in wins (12) while ranking second in ERA (2.41) and third in WHIP (1.15).
Ranaudo is in the midst of one of the strongest stretches of his career, as the 6-foot-7 righty has compiled an ERA of 1.94 since June, striking out 46 and walking 17.
Henry Owens, the Red Sox's top pitching prospect, was promoted to Pawtucket.

What are they going to do with Shane Victorino?
Edes: "Shane Victorino likely is headed to the disabled list with a recurrence of the hamstring issues that have plagued him all season."
I keep seeing references in the media to yesterday's events as being a "fire sale."
My understanding is that a fire sale refers to the sale of goods or assets at heavily discounted prices.
So I don't think that is an accurate description in this case. "Rebuilding" or "retooling" is probably the better description.
Seriously now I have to sit in front of the TV for 3 + hours again?
Sawx!!!
No Cespedes is starting lineup?
He is travelling and they are not sure exactly when he will arrive.
Did he take his Winnie?
Carp was DFAd to make room for Mookie.
