Navarro promoted
Salem shortstop Yamaico Navarro Navarro has been promoted to double-A Portland, the team announced Wednesday. Infielder Jon Hee has been brought back up from low-A Greenville to fill Navarro's spot on the Salem roster.
The Boston Globe reported on its website, boston.com, that Portland shortstop Argenis Diaz and Greenville pitcher Hunter Strickland were the prospects that the Boston Red Sox sent to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Adam LaRoche.
Navarro hit .319 with nine doubles, four homers and 17 RBIs in 23 games with Salem. He missed most of the first half with a wrist injury.
Hee hit .233 in 43 games with Salem, playing second and third base between May 1 and June 21 when he was sent back down to Greenville. He has hit under .200 (9-for-49) since returning to the Drive.
