| Player Notes |
| September 19, 2008 Clay Buchholz will work in the Arizona Fall League to further his development, according to the Boston Globe. Players are eligible for the league if they have less than one year of MLB experience. The Sox have generally used it for Double-A players. |
| September 2, 2008 The Boston Globe made a big deal of the one year anniversary of Clay Buchholz's no-hitter, but did qualify the report with his recent progress on the farm. Buchholz struck out 10 in his last regular-season start at Double-A Portland, and he will make at least one start in the Eastern League playoffs. |
| August 20, 2008 Following another troublesome outing, Boston manager Terry Francona announced pitcher Clay Buchholz, who allowed five runs over 2-1/3 innings in an 11-6 Sox loss to the Orioles was demoted to Double-A Portland to work out his pitching issues, according to the Boston Herald. |
| August 20, 2008 Boston suffered a horrific loss, 11-6, to division-rival Baltimore this evening, giving RHP Clay Buchholz a hard time to get started. Buchholz lasted just 2 1/3 innings, allowing five runs (all earned) on just three hits with three walks and no strikesouts. |
| August 17, 2008 The game was as ugly as could be in today's loss to Toronto, but the Red Sox identified an opportunity to get Clay Buchholz a bit of work, according to the Providence Journal. |
| August 15, 2008 With Friday's rainout, Clay Buchholz will have his start pushed back to next Wednesday, according to the Boston Herald. Buchholz was supposed to start on Sunday. |
| August 12, 2008 Paul Byrd will make the start on Friday for the Red Sox, which is the day that Clay Buchholz was supposed to take the mound, according to the Boston Globe. The Red Sox still have not announced their plans for Buchholz, but he has been so atrocious lately, his starting spot is certainly in jeopardy. |
| August 11, 2008 Clay Buchholz will remain in the Red Sox starting rotation even after being hammered in his last start to fall to 2-8 with a 6.32 ERA, according to MLB.com. "We've been so committed to this guy," manager Terry Francona said. "We're spending our energy, [pitching coach] John Farrell and I spent a bunch of time with him today, trying to help" |
| August 10, 2008 Once again, Clay Buchholz got hammered, lasting only three innings in the Red Sox 6-5 loss to the White Sox. The right-hander allowed five runs on seven hits, including three home runs. |
| August 4, 2008 Clay Buchholz lost his seventh game of the year to the Kansas City Royals, going six innings and allowing four earned runs. |
| July 23, 2008 Clay Buchholz struck out seven Mariners in 5.1 innings, and though he allowed just three runs he wasn't involved in the decision on Wednesday. |
| July 19, 2008 Clay Buchholz was tagged for eight runs, four earned, in 4.2 innings. He gave up eight hits and two walks in his abbreviated outing. |
| July 13, 2008 Red Sox manager Terry Francona said after Sunday's 2-1 win over the Orioles that Clay Buchholz will get the Friday start after the All Star game against the Los Angles Angels. The scheduling will allow Jon Lester and Josh Beckett extra rest. |
| July 11, 2008 Clay Buchholz suffered another loss during his return to the majors on Friday. The Orioles, who fielded a lineup that was 0-for-19 in their careers against Buchholz, drew five walks on their way to scoring four runs in five innings against the young Red Sock. |
| July 11, 2008 As previously reported, the Red Sox have recalled Clay Buchholz has been recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to make Friday's start against the Orioles. |
| July 7, 2008 The Providence Journal reports that the Red Sox will recall pitcher Clay Buchholz to start Friday against the Orioles at Fenway Park. When Buchholz was sent to Pawtucket earlier this season with a blister, the team decided to give him extended time on the farm to work on his fastball. |
| July 2, 2008 The Red Sox pulled Clay Buchholz from the PawSox game Monday night after the right-hander pitched five scoreless innings, and according to the Boston Globe they believe there is a reason. Buchholz appears return to the Sox rotation, possibly as soon as Saturday against division rival New York in the Bronx. |
| June 10, 2008 Clay Buchholz is working to improve his arm slot and the consistency with his fastball. The right-hander worked three innings (73 pitches) on Monday night and focused on throwing his heater. "He can be special," manager Terry Francona informs The Providence Journal. "He's healthy. He has a few things we would like him to work on. He can get frustrated, but we're not frustrated." |
| May 31, 2008 Clay Buchholz has been activated from the DL, and optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket, where he had been on a rehab assignment, according to the AP. Buchholz was placed on the disabled list back on May 14 with a torn nail on his right middle finger. |
| May 27, 2008 Clay Buchholz is scheduled for his next rehab start on Friday, according to the Boston Globe. Manager Terry Francona would not comment on his progression, but said he won't likely be headed to the bullpen, and there may be a spot in the rotation when he is healthy enough to return to Boston. Francona said, "Working on a little bit of getting away from his head to try to create some movement with his fastball. He had that arm slot when he signed. Just trying to get some consistency with that. Take advantage of these innings when he's not here. But he sounded real upbeat." |
| May 25, 2008 The Red Sox report RHP Clay Buchholz pitched four-plus innings this evening in a rehab start for Triple-A Pawtucket, according to the Boston Globe. |

| May 14, 2008 The Red Sox have placed Clay Buchholz on the 15-day DL due to a torn fingernail on his right middle finger, the Boston Globe reports. |
| May 13, 2008 Despite recent struggles, Clay Buchholz will still make is scheduled start on Sunday, according to the Boston Herald. Bucchholz has also been dealing with an issue with his nail on his right middle finger, but it's not believe to be serious. |
| May 12, 2008 Clay Buchholz didn't make it out of the fifth inning on Monday night and the Red Sox dropped their second straight game to the AL Central leading Twins. The right-hander allowed seven runs on eight hits, walked five and struck out four. |
| May 12, 2008 Clay Buchholz allowed five runs on 10 hits over a mere four innings in his last start against the Tigers, and will be looking to bounce back tonight as he faces the Twins in Minnesota, according to MLB.com. Buchholz is 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over seven starts this season, and this will be his first career appearance against the Twins. |
| April 26, 2008 Clay Buchholz got the loss on Saturday despite allowing only two runs on three hits in eight innings. He walked two batters and struck out nine in his complete game effort. |
| April 21, 2008 Clay Buchholz picked up his first win of the season after tossing six shutout innings against the Rangers on Monday. He allowed five hits, walked two, and struck out six. Buchholz's ERA shrunk from 6.75 to 4.79. |
| April 16, 2008 Clay Buchholz failed to last even four innings against the Yankees as he permitted eight hits and one walk which leg to seven runs for the Yankees. |
| April 11, 2008 Clay Buchholz dominated the Yankees holding them to one run in six innings on Friday. Buchholz allowed four hits and three walks on the day while picking up three K. Clay now holds a 3.27 ERA through two starts on the young season. |
| April 5, 2008 RHP Clay Buchholz suffered through a rough outing against the Toronto Blue Jays today, but the relief pitching is what cost the Red Sox a shot at competing, falling 2-10. Buchholz threw 89 pitches through a short five innings of work, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits. Buchholz had his arm working, striking out seven and walking just two, but the offense failed to materialize in his support and the relief pitching, namely Kyle Snyder and Bryan Corey (giving up SIX runs on the next 30 pitches), was an utter disaster. |
| March 30, 2008 Clay Buchholz had another rough outing against the Dodgers on Sunday as he allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits over three innings of work, with three walks and five strikeouts. He ended spring training with a 1-3 record and a dismal 10.03 ERA. |
| March 22, 2008 Clay Buchholz lost his feel in the bottom of the second, according to MLB.com. The Red Sox right-hander was tagged for four runs in Boston's 5-4 win in Japan. Buchholz lasted 3 2/3 innings, giving up six hits, two walks and striking out four in the exhibition outing. |
| March 18, 2008 Clay Buchholz pitched four hitless innings, struck out three and walked one in a start for the Pawtucket Red Sox, according to the Providence Journal. It was Buchholz's best spring performance. The young right-hander has given up three home runs this spring and had an ERA well over nine runs coming into the contest. |
| March 9, 2008 Clay Buchholz will spend his Sunday bullpen session trying to correct a mechanical problem, the arching of his back, which is something that he's worked on since signing with the Red Sox, according to the Boston Globe. "As your foot gets too far away from your body, there's a counterbalancing effect that has to take place," pitching coach John Farrell said. "As the foot gets further away from the body, that leg lift has the tendency to push the shoulders back. So the thought being that you get his foot underneath his lead knee, that will allow him to stay a little more upright and direct as he drives to home plate." Farrell admitted that Buchholz may be dealing with nerves, too. That's understandable, considering the expectations that have followed last year's no-hitter. He may begin the season in the minors, but he'll be pitching for the Sox sooner or later. |
| March 2, 2008 Clay Buchholz didn't have his best stuff Sunday, as he allowed four runs on five hits and a walk in two frames. Buchholz is the favorite for the No. 5 spot in the Red Sox rotation if Bartolo Colon isn't ready at the beginning of the year, but he'll need to get better. |
| February 13, 2008 The Red Sox plan to limit Clay Buchholz's innings this year. "We had a target number of innings before the season started last year, which we'll have this year," pitching coach John Farrell said in the Boston Globe. "It'll certainly be an increase over the 150 innings that we targeted last year. I think it's a reasonable number to think that Clay is going to be in line for 180-190 innings, in that range. I think he's ready certainly for a full season at the major league level and he's got the talent to back that up." Buchholz will battle Julian Tavarez for the last spot in the team's rotation. |
| February 7, 2008 Clay Buchholz, who was shutdown in late September with a shoulder injury, continues to progress in his rehab. The young right-hander, who was 3-1 with a 1.59 ERA in four big league games last year, will be limited to 180 innings this season. |
| January 16, 2008 Clay Buchholz put on 10 pounds over the offseason to help prevent him from wearing down at the end of the season, according to the Boston Herald. He was shut down late last season due to shoulder fatigue. "I believe my shoulder's ready to go. It doesnt feel fatigued anymore," he said. "I've actually been throwing a lot since the first of the year." Buchholz, who held a 1.59 ERA in four games (three starts) last season, will likely begin the 2008 season in the starting rotation. |
