Hissey has been promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket temporarily while Jackie Bradley was called up to Boston to replace Shane Victorino (hamstring, DL), the
Portland Press Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Hissey, who was set to begin the season with Double-A Portland, is looking to maintain health and play a full season. Injuries have cut short his last three seasons and Hissey enters his final year under team control. If he doesn't live up to the expectations placed on him as a high-school player from southern Pennsylvania, Hissey will need to find another team willing to take a shot on him.
