Shortstop Stephen Drew cleared waivers on Friday and was sent him to Class A Greenville after he re-signed with the Boston Red Sox this week. <\/p>\n
Drew, who rejected a contract offer during the offseason before accepting a prorated share of a $14.1 million qualifying offer on Tuesday, is expected to be in the minor leagues about 10 days before he returns to the majors. <\/p>\n
Boston manager John Farrell told reporters that Drew would be with Greenville for four days before going to Double-A Portland or Triple-A Pawtucket. The Red Sox want Drew to get back into the swing of things with about 25 at-bats. <\/p>\n
During the Red Sox's World Series season in 2013, Drew batted .253 with 13 home runs and 67 RBIs in 124 games. <\/p>\n
