Boston disables Cash, promotes Saltalamacchia

Baseball Betting Lines

08/11/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox have placed catcher Kevin Cash on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 9, with a strained left hamstring.

Cash is batting .176 with two home runs and four runs batted in over 40 games this season.

To take Cash's spot on the roster, the BoSox recalled catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, whom they acquired from Texas at the trade deadline on July 31, from Triple-A Pawtucket.

He was the Rangers' catcher on Opening Day, but played in only two games, going 1-for-5, before being placed on the disabled list because of stiffness in his upper back and shoulder.

After returning to the field in the minor leagues with Triple-A Oklahoma City, the 25-year-old then experienced pronounced difficulty throwing the ball back to the pitcher from behind the plate, which he has since overcome.

In his four-year career with Atlanta and Texas, Saltalamacchia is a .251 hitter with 23 homers and 94 RBI in 240 games.
