TORONTO (AP) – Outfielder Rusney Castillo has rejoined the Boston Red Sox on a standby basis, just in case Hanley Ramirez’s injured hand doesn’t heal.
Castillo joined the team in Toronto but wasn’t added to the active roster for Tuesday night’s game against the Blue Jays.
If he isn’t activated Wednesday, he must return to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Ramirez out of the lineup for the sixth straight game while his ailing left hand heads. The left fielder is batting .283 and leads the Red Sox with 15 home runs and 38 RBIs.
Manager John Farrell said Ramirez hit off the tee Monday night and in the cage earlier Tuesday. Ramirez took full batting practice Tuesday and could return to the lineup Wednesday.
”Things are coming together as we had hoped they would,” Farrell said.
