Buchholz sent down
The Boston Red Sox sent pitcher Clay Buchholz to Pawtucket today, officially making Brad Penny the No. 5 starter for the start of the season.
Buchholz had a terrific spring, but was headed to the minors if everyone else was healthy.
The Red Sox also officially put five players on the disabled list - pitcher Miguel Gonzalez (the Rule V pick from the Angels who had Tommy John surgery), pitcher John Smoltz, shortstop Julio Lugo, utility player Mark Kotsay and outfielder Jon Van Every (who will eventually end up in Pawtucket).
