CHICAGO (AP) - Boston Red Sox reliever David Aardsma was activated from the 15-day disabled list Friday after missing three weeks with a strained right groin.
The right-hander had not pitched since July 18 against the Los Angeles Angels. Aardsma, 3-2 with a 2.75 ERA in 38 relief outings, threw two scoreless innings over two rehab appearances with Triple-A Pawtucket.To make room, the Red Sox optioned right-hander Chris Smith to Pawtucket after Wednesday's game at Kansas City.
