Red Sox Select Contract Of Trevor Kelley

By Jeff Todd | July 1, 2019 at 5:59pm CDT

The Red Sox announced today that they will select the contract of righty Trevor Kelley in advance of tomorrow’s contest, asĀ Alex Speier of the Boston Globe first reported. An active roster spot was opened by optioning fellow right-hander Mike Shawaryn.

The 25-year-old Kelley was a 36th-round pick in 2015 and was left unprotected from the Rule 5 draft last winter. He has generally succeeded in the minors with low home run and hefty infield fly rates. The soft-tossing sidearmer has been devastating against lefty hitters at Triple-A this year, holding them to a collective .077/.172/.115 slash. Kelley has allowed just four earned in 37 2/3 innings this year for Pawtucket, with 34 strikeouts and 12 walks.

There are a few other roster maneuvers out of Boston as well. Infielder Tzu-Wei Lin was activated from the IL and optioned. Corner utilityman Steve Pearce will remain on the shelf; his lower back issue evidently isn’t progressing as hoped, as his rehab assignment was cut off. Finally, Sam Travis is going back to Triple-A after 26th-man service in London.

    Glad for two reasons here. One, it will be interesting to see Kelley get a try at the big league level. Two, I hope this means Shawaryn will return to PAW as a starter and get back into the rhythm of his development as a starting pitcher. The relief stint at BOS was a misdirection.
