The 22-year-old then went on to allow just one earned run over 12 innings for Surprise in the Arizona Fall League.
Maddox made 39 combined appearances (two starts) for Boston's Class A Advanced, Double-A and Triple-A clubs last season, compiling a 5-3 overall record with a 3.59 ERA and 64 strikeouts and 25 walks over 67 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old also pitched in the Venezuelan Winter League, pitching 8 2/3 innings for Zulia.
The addition of Callahan and Maddox brings the total number of non-roster invitees for Boston to 17, including seven pitchers, three catchers, four infielders and three outfielders.
