The Boston Red Sox announced on Wednesday that they have placed catcher Josh Bard on unconditional release waivers.
The move ends Bard's second stint with the Red Sox. He played in seven games with the club in 2006 before being dealt to San Diego for catcher Doug Mirabelli.
Bard, who will turn 31 on March 30, remained with the Padres through 2008, hitting .202 with one home run and 16 runs batted in over 57 games last year. He signed a non-guaranteed one-year contract with a club option for 2010 with the Red Sox in the beginning of January.
In seven seasons with the Red Sox, Padres and Indians, Bard holds a .265 lifetime average with 28 homers and 168 RBI in 431 games.
