The Sox will have OF Brandon Moss in Anaheim tomorrow. Moss is being called up to give Eric Hinske time to go home to Phoenix. Hinske recently lost his grandmother and his wife is going through a difficult pregnancy. The Sox are investigating how to get Hinske off the active roster. The bereavement list, given his grandmother's passing, is one option.
Players can stay on the bereavement list for a minimum of three days and a maximum of seven days.
Moss can't play center, but the Sox still have Wily Mo Pena for that. The main attraction is that he gives the Sox a lefty bat off the bench while Hinske is absent.
Dustin Pedroia, who was hitless Saturday night, but is still hitting .357 in his last 16 games, is being given the afternoon off with Alex Cora taking over at second base.
