Moving up to big club The Red Sox will recall Mazza from their taxi squad prior to Wednesday's game against the Mets, Chad Jennings of The Athletic reports. Impact Though Mazza was left off the season-opening 30-man roster after failing to win a rotation spot, he had to wait less than a week for his first callup to the big club. Mazza is expected to slot into a long-relief role initially, but he may not have to wait long to get his first look as a starter. Both Ryan Weber (six runs allowed in 3.2 innings in a loss to the Orioles) and Matt Hall (three runs allowed in 2.2 innings in a loss to the Mets) were lit up in their first starts of the season and are probably on short leashes in the rotation.
