Red Sox Cut Catcher to Clear Roster Spot for Tommy Kahnle

In a corresponding move to activate veteran reliever Tommy Kahnle, the Boston Red Sox have opted to release catcher Doug Robbins. The team needed to clear a place on their 26-man roster to accommodate Kahnle's return to the active squad.

Robbins, who had been with the organization, was deemed expendable in order for the Red Sox to bring back their bullpen piece. The move signals a clear priority for the team as they prepare for upcoming games.
