Red Sox Place Clay Buchholz On DL, Call Up Andrew Miller

BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Red Sox have placed right-hander Clay Buchholz on the 15-day disabled list and called up left-hander Andrew Miller from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Buchholz's strained lower back had been bothering him for a few starts.

Miller signed as a minor league free agent during the offseason. He is scheduled to start Monday against San Diego. He was 3-3 with a 2.47 ERA in 13 games -- 12 starts -- with Pawtucket.

Red Sox reliever Daniel Bard spoke to WBZ NewsRadio 1030's Jonny Miller about Andrew Miller's promotion:
