Red Sox notes »

NEW YORK -- Manny Delcarmen, called up from Pawtucket after Sunday night's game against Atlanta, is with the team at Yankee Stadium, though his role -- and the duration of his stay -- is still undefined.
''They told me it could be four days, it could be a week, it could be a month,'' Delcarmen said today. ''I just have to stay loose and be ready for anything.''
Manager Terry Francona said he wasn't sure how he'd use Delcarmen. ''It all depends on how the games go,'' he said when asked if Delcarmen would be pitching in long or short relief.
Delcarmen didn't pitch in his last four games with the PawSox and found the inactivity curious. Then, when manager Ron Johnson told him he was being called up to Boston, ''it all made sense.''
The Sox played three games in two days on Saturday and Sunday and have a need for fresh bullpen arms, particularly after the short start they received from Devern Hansack in the second game on Saturday.
