redsox.com: BOSTON -- Boston's top prospect has been called up to the Majors and will make his Fenway Park debut Wednesday night.
Will Middlebrooks, a 23-year-old third baseman with power, was added to the 25-man roster on Wednesday, manager Bobby Valentine said during his weekly radio spot with WEEI in Boston. Kevin Youkilis, the team's regular at the hot corner and a Red Sox mainstay, has not played in the past three games because of back tightness.
Lars Anderson was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket to make room on the roster. Middlebrooks will be in the starting lineup Wednesday for the Red Sox, who will face the A's in the rubber match of a three-game series at 7:10 p.m. ET. By Evan Drellich / MLB.com
Jasper's thoughts: "The Sox are going to need Middlebrooks down the stretch. Youk has been having bad injury problems lately, and if those continue, The veteran third basemen could be traded by the deadline."
