Masterson will replace Hansen in Boston

To make room for Justin Masterson on the Major League roster Thursday, the Red Sox are returning reliever Craig Hansen to Pawtucket after his one appearance Wednesday.

about Kevin and this blog

Kevin covers baseball for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. He first reported on spring training games for the St. Petersburg Times in 1978. He wisely moved to Maine in 1994 and now writes about the Portland Sea Dogs and Boston Red Sox—when he's not coaching Little League baseball.

He is married to Nancy, and the couple recently completed their lineup card with the birth of their ninth child.
