Portland, Maine- The Boston Red Sox today called-up Sea Dogs' right-handed pitcher David Pauley. Pauley will get the start tonight at 7:00 PM in Toronto against the Blue Jays in place of David Wells.

The Boston Red Sox also placed Sea Dogs' infielder Keoni De Renne on the disabled list with a right ankle strain.
