The Boston Red Sox just made a bunch of roster moves regarding their bullpen following the first game of the double-header against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Firstly, they have reinstated Justin Slaten from the 15-day IL. Slaten has been one of the best relievers in the bullpen, so he definitely will help the Red Sox late game pitching.
Secondly, they optioned righty reliever Josh Winckowski to AAA. Winckowski has been an ok to mediocre reliever this year, with a 4.45 ERA. Last year, he was much better with a 2.88 ERA.
Finally, Bailey Horn is being made the 27th man on the Sox’s roster for the second game against Toronto. Horn has a 6.48 ERA, so it is odd to bring him back up, but the Sox probably have a plan that he is part of.
The second game of the double-header will be at 7:10pm EST.
