Roster Moves April 16, 2008

With Alex Cora going on the 15 day disabled list in Boston, the Red Sox have purchased the contract of Joe Thurston from Pawtucket.

Thurston has been replaced on the PawSox roster by IF Jeff Natale. Natale has spent the past year with the Portland Sea Dogs.

Listening to the game this afternoon, Kyle Snyder has made his first appearance for the PawSox in relief of Abe Avalrez.

FYI...The PawSox and Indians are tied 2-2 in the fifth.
