Place moves up

Jason Place, the Boston Red Sox's first pick in the 2006 draft, moved up from Salem to double-A Portland on Friday.

Place hit .252 with 24 doubles, three triples and four homers in 76 games for Salem. He drove in a team-high 48 runs.

Daniel Nava came off the disabled list to replace Place on the Salem roster. Nava went 9-for-22 in six games after spending most of the first half in extended spring training with abdominal injuries.
