Ranaudo To Start Wednesday As Red Sox Skip Workman
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Red Sox have recalled pitcher Anthony Ranaudo from Triple-A, who will get the start Wednesday afternoon against the Cincinnati Reds.
Ranaudo will get the start in place of Brandon Workman, who manager John Farrell announced Tuesday will have his turn in the rotation skipped in favor of the 24-year-old.
Workman has struggled this season after a successful run in 2013, and has lost each of his last six appearances. His latest loss came out of the bullpen in Boston's 19-inning loss to the Angels on Saturday night. Overall, Workman is 1-6 with a 4.45 ERA this season.

The Red Sox drafted Ranaudo 39th overall in the 2010 draft.
