| After memorable run, Nava sent back to minors | 07.21.10 at 8:51 pm ET |
Red Sox outfielder Daniel Nava told reporters in Oakland that he had been optioned back to Triple-A Pawtucket following his club’s loss to the Athletics on Wednesday. The outfielder, who became the second player in baseball history to hit a grand slam on the first pitch he saw in his big league career, was sent back to the PawSox in order to clear a roster spot for Jeremy Hermida.
Nava hit .286 with a .381 OBP, .832 OPS, one homer and 16 RBI in 29 games. The switch-hitter was particularly impressive against right-handers, hitting .319 with a .390 OBP and .911 OPS. In his final at-bat before being sent down, Nava lined out to center field as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning of Wednesday’s 6-4 loss to the A’s.
The 27-year-old took his return to the minors in stride.
“I’ve got things I need to work on, and I’ll go back there, try to work on that stuff, try to focus on that stuff, wait for another opportunity,” he told reporters in Oakland.
Hermida is set to be activated for Thursday’s game against the Mariners. He has missed the last six weeks as a result of a collision with third baseman Adrian Beltre on June 6 that left him with five fractured ribs. Hermida is hitting .217 with a .653 OPS, five homers and 27 RBI this year. During five minor league rehab games with Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket, Hermida hit .211 with a .566 OPS.
