Boesch (wrist) was activated off the disabled list Friday and reported to Triple- A Pawtucket, Bill Koch of the Providence Journal reports.
Boesch wasn't in the PawSox's lineup Friday, but after a lengthy rehab stint at extended spring training and fresh from the Gulf Coast League, the six-year veteran's arrival comes at an opportune time as Boston deals with injuries in the outfield. If Boesch can get back to the form that made him a regular with the Tigers from 2010-12, the Red Sox may need his services in Boston.
