Red Sox Make Roster Move After Yankees Loss
UPDATE: The move is official.
Following the game, Ari Alexander of 7News Boston WHDH reported that the Red Sox are making a roster move.
Alexander’s first post: “Source: The #RedSox have optioned RHP Jack Anderson to Triple-A.”
Alexander’s second post: “The Red Sox are calling up Puerto Rican LHP Eduardo Rivera Dominant in Double-A this season, but hasn’t pitched above that level.”
MLB Social Media Reacts To Red Sox Roster Move
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
Tommy Cassell: “The one thing about this move is the Red Sox now need to make a spot on the 40-man roster for Eduardo Rivera. My guess would be they put Triston Casas on the 60-day IL — but we will probably find that out later today.”
@JakeIggy: “Eduardo Rivera has only made two starts this season in AA but was very effective 0.90 ERA, 6 H, 1 ER, 16 K in 10 IP”
@Hunter_Noll: “Crazy last few months for Eduardo Rivera. Had some big moments in the WBC for Puerto Rico, cooked in Double-A, now in the Majors.”
@ChrisHenrique: “What a day for Eduardo Rivera. He was expected to pitch on Thursday, piggybacking off WooSox starter Alec Gamboa. He’s now headed to Boston. Tolle continues to play the waiting game.”
@coL_Fantasy: “This Eduardo Rivera call-up is EXACTLY what I’ve been saying for 2 years now. Front Office and Player Dev seems to have 0 plan for the future. They just seem to wing it at every turn. No long-term plan, no short-term plans, no thought out backup plans. Stumbling thru everything.”
