The Red Sox have signed right-handed minor league pitcher Kyle Barraclough o a minor-league deal, according to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo.
Barraclough is a veteran of seven big league seasons, spending time with the Marlins, Twins, Giants, Angels and Nationals. The righty owns a career 18-15 record with a 3.61 ERA, 11 saves and 346 strikeouts over 288 games.
Barraclough saw the bulk of his success with the Marlins, he was initially acquired by Miami in a trade for Falmouth native Steve Cishek. While with the Marlins, he finished 15-12 with a 3.21 ERA over 218 2/3 innings pitched.
The new Sox minor leaguer most recently pitched for High Point Rockers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He last saw time in the majors with the Angels in 2022, he posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP in nine innings.
Barraclough offers a three-pitch mix, a four-seam fastball (92.9 mph), slider (78.3 mph) and cutter (88.8 mph).
It’s expected that he will report to Triple-A Worcester, presumably filling the void on the roster left by Matt Dermody, who the Sox released last week.
