Allen Webster allowed eight runs in 1 2/3 innings as the Red Sox lost to the Twins on Wednesday.

After faring alright in his first start on April 21, the rookie got taken to the woodshed Wednesday. Webster gave up six hits, including two home runs, while walking three as well. He's still a talent and Wednesday was likely just a bad night for the 23-year-old. He should be better Tuesday against the Rays.

Allen Webster will start Wednesday vs. the Twins.

Webster was officially recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday evening and is taking over for Felix Doubront in the Red Sox starting rotation for at least one turn. The 23-year-old right-hander is a nice talent and pitched pretty well in a spot start last month against the Royals. Give him a try in deep mixed fantasy leagues.

Red Sox recalled RHP Allen Webster from Triple-A Pawtucket.

The Red Sox have yet to announce the corresponding roster move, but it's fair to assume that Joel Hanrahan (forearm) will be placed on the disabled list. Alex Speier of WEEI.com hears that Webster will get a start -- likely on Wednesday against the Twins -- with Felix Doubront being pushed back a day in the rotation. The 23-year-old right-hander impressed in a spot-start last month and could be worth streaming in fantasy leagues. He has legitimate long-term potential.

Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal hears that Allen Webster is with the Red Sox in Boston.

The Red Sox haven't announced a roster move, though it's possible he'll be added if (or when) Joel Hanrahan (forearm) is placed on the disabled list. Webster last pitched on Friday with Triple-A Pawtucket and struck out nine over six innings of one-run ball.

Red Sox optioned RHP Allen Webster to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Webster was brought up to make a spot start in Sunday's doubleheader against the Royals. It was his major league debut and the 23-year-old right-hander held Kansas City to two earned runs over six promising innings in a no-decision. He struck out five and walked one. Webster should get another look later this summer.

Red Sox recalled RHP Allen Webster from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Webster will start the second half of Sunday's doubleheader against the Royals. It will be his major league debut. He was acquired from the Dodgers in last summer's Adrian Gonzalez trade and was labeled a Top 50 prospect this past winter by Baseball America. The 23-year-old right-hander will be sent back down after his start but may be worth streaming in mixed leagues.

Allen Webster - S - Red Sox

Red Sox optioned RHP Allen Webster to Triple-A Pawtucket; optioned C Christian Vazquez to Double-A Portland.

Webster, who came over in last summer's Adrian Gonzalez deal, showed off his electric stuff this spring to the tune of a 1.64 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 14/1 K/BB ratio over 11 spring innings. While the Red Sox already appear loaded at the back end of their bullpen, expect to see Webster operating in a setup capacity before the season is through.

Allen Webster - S - Red Sox

Allen Webster struck out four while allowing one run in two innings against the Blue Jays on Monday.

Webster touched 99 mph on the gun today, according to Peter Gammons. One of two top young arms the Red Sox got from the Dodgers in the Adrian Gonzalez deal last summer, he's certain to start off in the minors, but he might make an impact this summer.

Allen Webster - S - Red Sox

Red Sox purchased the contract of RHP Allen Webster from Double-A Portland.

Acquired in August in the megadeal with the Dodgers, Webster posted a 3.86 ERA while striking out a batter per inning at Double-A this season. He's a promising young righty but probably isn't ready to make his major league debut in 2013.

Allen Webster - S - Red Sox

Red Sox acquired RHP Allan Webster, INF Ivan DeJesus Jr., 1B James Loney and two players to be named later from the Dodgers for 1B Adrian Gonzalez, RHP Josh Beckett, OF Carl Crawford, INF Nick Punto and cash considerations.

Webster is a nice score for Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington. The 22-year-old was an 18th round pick in 2008 but has steadily built a strong reputation in the minors. This year at Double-A Chattanooga, he was sporting a 3.55 ERA and 117/57 K/BB ratio in 121 2/3 innings. He projects as a mid-rotation starter in the big leagues.

According to FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi, the Cubs have asked for Allen Webster in exchange for Ryan Dempster.

Webster, 22, has a 4.06 ERA and 85/35 K/BB ratio in 88 2/3 innings this season at Double-A Chattanooga. Baseball America ranked him as the Dodgers' second-best pitching prospect this past winter, behind Zach Lee.
