For those of you who missed yesterday's roster move, righthander Chris Smith was brought up to the big leagues today as insurance. With Hideki Okajima likely still sidelined today with a sore wrist, Smith will help fill out a bullpen that was mostly used up yesterday in the doubleheader.

Since Coco Crisp and J.D. Drew are both back to health, Jonathan Van Every was no longer needed by the club.

Smith will only be in Boston until tomorrow, when he'll be sent back to make way for Justin Masterson.

He was 1-2 with a 1.45 ERA in 10 games (four starts) for Pawtucket this season.
