The Boston Red Sox today recalled lefty Craig Breslow from the Pawtucket Red Sox and designated catcher Corky Miller for assignment.
Breslow will be in uniform for tonight's game at Fenway against Detroit. The 26-year-old Breslow is 5-1 with a 3.00 E.R.A. and seven saves in 35 relief appearances with Pawtucket. He leads the PawSox in appearances and has held opposing batters to a .205 average.
Breslow made one appearance in a Boston uniform last month, pitching 1.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts as the team lost to Oakland.
Miller was called up from Pawtucket on Aug. 5 as a stopgap after the Red Sox suffered injuries to catchers Jason Varitek and Doug Mirabelli. He appeared in one game as starting catcher Aug. 6 against Tampa Bay, going 0-for-4 as the Sox lost in extra innings.
