BOSTON, MA - The Boston Red Sox today recalled infielder Brock Holt from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Holt will be available for tonight's 7:10 p.m. game at Fenway Park.

Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington made the announcement.

For Holt, 25, this marks his second stint with the Red Sox this year.

Defensively, he played in 10 games at third base (nine starts), and also appeared in two games at second base. For his major league career, he has batted .292 (28-for-110) with two doubles, one triple, 11 RBI, and nine runs in 34 games between the Pittsburgh Pirates (2012) and Red Sox (2013). In 69 games for Pawtucket this year, he has hit .264 (63-for-239) with four doubles, one home run, and 20 RBI.
