The Red Sox have announced a series of roster moves, including officially placing catcher Christian Vazquez on the 10-day disabled list with a broken right pinky. In addition, they sent left-hander Brian Johnson to the 10-day DL (left hip inflammation, retroactive to July 5) and transferred righty Austin Maddox to the 60-day DL.
With their newfound roster space, the Red Sox selected righty Ryan Brasier from Triple-A Pawtucket and recalled fellow righty William Cuevas. They continue to possess a full 40-man roster.
The 30-year-old Brasier could now see his first major league action since 2013, when he threw his only nine MLB innings while with the Angels. Brasier inked a minors deal with the Red Sox over the winter after spending the previous several years at the Triple-A level with the Halos and Athletics. He has opened this season with tremendous numbers at Pawtucket, where he has logged a 1.34 ERA with 8.93 K/9 and 1.79 BB/9 in 40 1/3 innings out of the team’s bullpen. Overall, Brasier – the Angels’ sixth-round pick in 2007 – owns a 3.65 ERA with 9.1 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 246 1/3 Triple-A frames.
Our 40 man roster may be 85% relievers but I could be wrong
Yes, you are. There are a total of 17 pitchers on the 40 man roster which are considered relievers. This represents 42.5% of the total roster.
Wooooosh
That made my bald spot chilly
Austin Maddux, is that you??
No, it’s Austin Maddox
Hehehehe
We’ll soon see how much of an indicator stats are at AAA for the Sox; it would be great for our pen if Brasier can pick up from his streak of saves and perhaps be an added set up guy
We’ll see if Swihart is AAA or a AAAA like some claim.
I think you mean if he is an AAAA guy or MLB’er, lol.
Like if he should be traded to ur Rangers or not who dearly need help?
