Red Sox News: Josh Winckowski roster move, Brayan Bello return, top prospect hits IL

In preparation for their series-winning game against the Washington Nationals on May 12, the Boston Red Sox made a shocking roster move. Josh Winckowski has been in Boston since the beginning of the season when he made the big-league team out of spring — the righty even contended for a spot in the starting rotation over the winter. The night before Mother's Day, he was optioned to Worcester as the corresponding move to Brayan Bello's activation from the 15-day injured list. At the time of his demotion, Winckowski carried a 3.33 ERA with 19 strikeouts and 11 walks in 24.1 innings pitched.
