Roster Move -- Pauley for Thurston

Joe Thurston's stay in Boston was brief.

The utilityman, called up from Pawtucket last Wednesday, was designated for assignment this afternoon to make room for right-hander David Pauley, who was promoted from Pawtucket to take the place of Josh Beckett (stiff neck) on the mound for tonight's start against the Angels.

Thurston appeared in four games, including one start, on Patriots Day. He was hitless in eight at-bats.
