Report: Daniel Bard Will Be Called Back Up to Red Sox From Portland

According to a report from the Portland Press Herald’s Kevin Thomas, Daniel Bard will be recalled to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.

Thomas reports that Bard got word after Tuesday’s game. The right-hander is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in seven appearances with the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs so far this season.

Bard last pitched for the big league club last Sept. 28 in a 9-1 loss at Baltimore. Bard finished 2012 with a 5-6 record and a 6.22 ERA.

The team sent knuckleballer Steven Wright down to Pawtucket after Wright allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings in his major league debut on Tuesday.
