On Monday, the Boston Red Sox reinstated utility player Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list before their series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays.
With Gonzalez rejoining the team, infielder Jamie Westbrook was sent down to Triple-A Worcester.
Gonzalez was placed on the IL on June 2 after suffering a left hamstring strain on May 31. The 27-year-old has played in 17 games for the Red Sox, hitting .257 with six RBIs. He primarily started at shortstop but also played one game at first base.
During a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester, Gonzalez made three appearances, going 6-for-12 with four RBIs, a walk, and a stolen base.
In his 11 games (nine starts) with the Red Sox, Westbrook went 4-for-18 with one home run, one double, and four RBIs.
The Red Sox will face the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on Monday night, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET, following an hour of pregame coverage on NESN.
