According to Joe McDonald of ESPN Boston via Twitter, Clay Buchholz will active for tonight’s game.  I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty psyched about the possibility he makes an appearance (hopefully late) in tonight’s game.  This pretty much ensures Alfredo Aceves will receive a much deserved day off.

To make room for Buchholz on the roster, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal is reporting that Joey Gathright has been designated for assignment.  (Not confirmed)

UPDATE:  Kevin Youkilis has been placed on the 60-day DL in order to create a spot on the roster for Buchholz.  This effectively ends Youk’s season.
