Other roster issues

With Keith Foulke's status undetermined due to recurring back problems, the Red Sox opted to bolster their taxed bullpen prior to last night's 7-4 loss to Detroit by recalling left-hander Craig Breslow from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Veteran catcher Corky Miller was designated for assignment to create room on the 25-man roster for Breslow, who made one scoreless appearance for the Sox (1 innings) on July 14 against Oakland before throwing 1 scoreless innings last night. Breslow, who was 5-1 with seven saves and a 3.00 ERA in 35 appearances for the PawSox, was selected over Javier Lopez because of his ability to pitch multiple innings, if necessary.
"If we wanted matchups, we could've gone with Lopez but we need guys who can pitch innings," Francona said. "We don't need a third of an inning, we need innings."
