Bubba Bell promoted to Pawtucket
Dan Barbarisi of the Providence Journal is reporting that outfielder Bubba Bell has been promoted from Double-A Portland to Triple-A Pawtucket. Bell was to make his International League debut tonight in center field before Pawtucket's game against the Charlotte Knights was rained out. The 26-year-old Texas native had been hitting .275/.354/.417 with 13 doubles, 5 home runs, 20 RBI and 37 runs scored in 211 at-bats through Sunday's action. He had also accumulated 8 steals in 10 attempts. Bell, who was originally a 39th-round selection by the Red Sox in the 2005 draft, will replace the injured Jon Van Every on the Pawtucket roster.
