Henry Owens will start for the Boston Red Sox in their game Sunday night against the Houston Astros, Manager John Farrell told reporters before Friday night’s game.
Owens, who pitched for the Portland Sea Dogs in 2013 and 2014, will start in place of Joe Kelly, who was placed on the disabled list with a shoulder injury after pitching just 2/3 innings on Tuesday. Owens is 1-1 in three starts for Pawtucket this season. He has allowed two earned runs, while striking out 23 and walking 10.
Also Thursday, the Red Sox called up left-handed pitcher Roenis Elias from Triple-A Pawtucket and sent down right-handed pitcher William Cuevas.
Sea Dogs’ pitcher Aaron Wilkerson was called up to Pawtucket and started Friday night against Lehigh Valley.
