The Boston Red Sox announced Wednesday they recalled Connor Seabold from Triple-A Worcester after placing Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day injured list.

Seabold, 26, made 19 starts for Worcester this year. The right-hander went 8-2 with a 3.32 ERA in 86 2/3 innings. Seabold previously made three starts for the Red Sox, compiling an 11.91 ERA in 11 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox return to the diamond Wednesday night with their second of two games against the Cincinnati Reds. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET, and you can watch it following an hour of pregame on NESN.
