Baseball Betting Lines

08/17/2007 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox placed catcher Doug Mirabelli on the 15-day disabled list Friday after the veteran left the team's opener of a day-night doubleheader against the LA Angels of Anaheim with a strained right calf.

Mirabelli ripped an RBI double as part of a six-run first inning for Boston, but pulled up after rounding third and eventually limped home on a double by Alex Cora.

Jason Varitek replaced Mirabelli behind the plate as the Red Sox won the game, 8-4.

In corresponding roster moves, Boston recalled outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury from Triple-A Pawtucket and purchased the contract of catcher Kevin Cash.
