ATLANTA (AP) – The Boston Red Sox placed pitchers Robert Person and Matt White on the 15-day disabled list Friday and claimed right-hander Dicky Gonzalez off waivers from the Montreal Expos.

The Red Sox also sent Adrian Brown outright to Triple-A Pawtucket after Tampa declined to take back the outfielder, selected by Boston in the winter meeting draft.

Right-hander Hector Almonte and right-hander Bronson Arroyo also were sent outright to Pawtucket and catcher Chris Coste was reassigned to the minor league camp.

Person, who was 4-5 with a 5.44 ERA in 16 starts for the Philadelphia Phillies last season.

He had right shoulder surgery on July 22 and didn’t pitch again last season.

The Red Sox signed him as a free agent, and he pitched five innings this spring with a 7.20 ERA.

The left-handed White, who has a right oblique strain, had a 1.93 ERA in 9 1-3 innings this spring.

Gonzalez, 24, went 8-5 with a 3.75 ERA last season in 22 starts for the New York Mets’ Triple-A Norfolk farm team and one start with Montreal’s Triple-A Ottawa team.

In eight relief appearances this spring with the Expos, he was 1-0 with a save and a 3.86 ERA, striking out 15 in 14 innings.
