NESN.com - The Red Sox have 31 active players with them in Toronto after another round of September call-ups Monday.Slugging catcher/designated hitter Ryan Lavarnway, infielder Nate Spears and right-hander Kyle Weiland have each joined the club for the stretch run.
Weiland may make the most immediate impact of the three if he is chosen to take the start of Erik Bedard on Friday in Tampa Bay. Bedard will be skipped due to left knee pain.
In two starts filling in for Jon Lester back in July, Weiland was 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA. The right-hander, who turns 25 next Monday, was 8-10 with a 3.58 ERA in 24 starts for Pawtucket.
