LHP Henry Owens, once a top prospect, was demoted from Triple- to Double-A after two outings of wildness.

LHP Henry Owens will be the answer to a trivia question when he is the starting pitcher for the Red Sox in DH David Ortiz's final road game and final game against the Yankees. Owens has not pitched in a game since tossing 6 2/3 innings Sept. 5 for Triple-A Pawtucket vs. Buffalo but manager John Farrell said he threw about 80 pitches last week at the team's minor league complex in Florida. Farrell said there is not a set pitch count and how far Owens goes will be based on the game unfolds.

Owens walked five (one intentionally) and struck out five in five innings of an emergency start against Detroit. He gave up eight runs on six hits.

Farrell also said there are not any health issues with Owens and he expects him to return to the Red Sox at some point this season.

LHP Henry Owens continued to struggle with his command, as evidenced by the shortness of his outing Thursday. Owens threw only 64 pitches, and despite not giving up much hard contact with the exception of a home run by Avisail Garcia, he wasn't as sharp as he hoped to be, yielding six walks. Manager John Farrell said it was too early to say whether Owens would continue in Boston's rotation. "We'll take a look at it the next couple days," Farrell said.

LHP Henry Owens made some mechanical adjustments that paid off Friday night. Owens fared better than he did in his season debut, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks and striking out three in a six-inning no-decision Friday. The southpaw gave up three runs on five hits and walked four in 3 1/3 innings Sunday at Houston, a game the Red Sox won 7-5 in 12 innings. "There were some mechanical adjustments I made," Owens said. "I came out a little erratic. Trying to do too much, maybe focusing too much on it. I felt like as the game went on, I kind of got into a better rhythm. I just wanted to finish strong and keep the momentum on our side." Owens is 0-0 with a 4.82 ERA, seven strikeouts and seven walks over 9 1/3 innings.
