Red Sox acquire Van Every, option Reddick to Pawtucket
The Boston Red Sox have reacquired 30-year-old outfielder Jonathan Van Every from the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later. To make room for Van Every in Boston, the team has optioned Josh Reddick to Triple-A Pawtucket and designated pitcher Santo Luis for assignment. Van Every, who was signed by the Pirates last season after being released by the Red Sox in July, was hitting .314 in 10 games for Triple-A Indianapolis so far this season. Spending parts of 2008 and 2009 with Boston, Van Every hit .286 in 18 games.
