Red Sox Outright Jake Faria

By Anthony Franco | July 19, 2023 at 11:19pm CDT

The Red Sox sent right-hander Jake Faria through outright waivers, the club informed reporters (including Chris Cotillo of MassLive). Boston had designated him for assignment on Monday.

Faria had a very brief stay on the MLB roster. He pitched just once, allowing five runs in two innings as a mop-up reliever. That marked his first big league outing in two years. Faria has otherwise spent the season with Boston’s top affiliate in Worcester. He’s started nine of 19 appearances there, allowing a 6.47 ERA over 55 2/3 innings. Faria has a below-average 17.5% strikeout percentage while walking 13.3% of opponents.

The 29-year-old has struggled at the top minor league level over the past few seasons. He posted a 7.48 ERA in 12 outings with the Twins’ Triple-A team a year ago. In parts of seven campaigns there, he carries a 4.79 ERA. He’s logged MLB action in five different years, working to a 4.87 ERA through 205 innings.

Faria has been outrighted on multiple occasions in his career. He can therefore decline a minor league assignment in favor of free agency. He chose to stick with Worcester after being outrighted in mid-April, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he does the same this time around.

    Faria is a warm body for Worcester who the Red Sox do not mind loosing if another team takes him when DFA.

    He was called up 4/16 and did not pitch, 4/17 DFA, and back in Worcester 4/19. This July call up he pitched. Hopefully he will not be needed in Boston again.

    When he was called up, I remarked he would be back in Worcester on Tuesday (meaning no team would grab him off waivers), and I was spot on. Since the MLB caps teams at 13 pitchers on an MLB roster this same transaction will happen over, and over, and over…. for EVERY team during the season, so the “Bloom sucks” crowd simply looks ignorant when they post their garbage!
