WORCESTER — The Chicken Farmer has made his way to the Canal District.
On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox promoted pitcher Blake Wehunt to Triple-A Worcester.
The 25-year-old righty, who was given the nickname of the "Chicken Farmer" since his family owns a chicken farm in Georgia, made his Triple-A debut a day later when the WooSox played the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in Game 1 of a doubleheader at Polar Park.
"It's kind of a cool perspective to be here," Wehunt told the T&G. The right-hander, with a slight southern drawl, was originally scheduled to pitch Tuesday before the WooSox game was postponed due to rain.
"Obviously, I'm grateful for the chance to be here and just ready to get to work."
