The Red Sox made a series of roster moves on Wednesday to help add reinforcements to their pitching depth.
Boston recalled WooSox pitchers Kyle Barraclough and Brandon Walter, while designating Dinelson Lamet for assignment and optioning Nick Robertson to Triple-A Worcester.
Barraclough was signed by the Red Sox in June and has gone 7-0 with a 2.57 ERA (12 ER/42.0 IP) and .181 opponent batting average (25-for-138) in eight games (seven starts).
Walter returns back to the Red Sox where he has posted a 3.07 ERA (5 ER/14.2 IP) in six games for Boston this season. The left-hander has also owns a 5.74 ERA (44 ER/69.0 IP) in 16 games (13 starts) with Worcester.
Lamet made his Red Sox debut on Tuesday night and allowed three runs, four hits (one homer) and one walk in 2 innings.
Robertson also struggled in the Red Sox’s 9-3 loss to the Royals on Tuesday. He allowed three runs and four hits (one homer) in 3 innings. The tall righty has been bitten by the home run ball since coming to the Sox organization. He’s given up three homers, in six innings between the WooSox and Red Sox.
