The Boston Red Sox today announced the following roster moves:
•   Left-handed pitcher Chris Sale was activated from the 10-day disabled list. He will start today's game against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.  
•   To make room for Sale on the 25-man roster, the Red Sox optioned right-handed pitcher Brandon Workman to Triple-A Pawtucket following last night's game. 
•   Right-handed pitcher William Cuevas was returned to Pawtucket following last night's game against the Orioles, after the Red Sox were permitted to add him to the active roster as a 26th man for yesterday's doubleheader per Major League Baseball Rules.
President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski made the announcement.
