The Boston Red Sox called up pitcher Daniel Bard from Pawtucket yesterday, May 10th. Javier Lopez was designated for assignment.
Daniel Bard is known for a fastball that comfortably sits in the 96-98 MPH range, and tops out around 100 MPH. His secondary pitches are average but improving. It will be interesting to see how often, and in what situations, the Red Sox pitch him. He could potentially become Jonathan Papelbon's setup man by season's end.
Sox Prospects has profiled him here as well:
