Boston Designates Pitcher for Assignment After 2 Scoreless Innings
12 Jul
Summary
- Pitcher Danny Coulombe was designated for assignment by the Red Sox.
- His release came immediately after throwing two scoreless innings.
- This move occurred just before the All-Star break on July 11, 2026.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Danny Coulombe experienced a swift change in his team status on July 11, 2026. Despite throwing two scoreless innings in a victory over the New York Mets, the team designated him for assignment.
This move, reported by Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, likely concludes Coulombe's time with the Red Sox shortly before the All-Star break. The 36-year-old left-hander's contract contained bonuses contingent on appearances, which would have activated at his 30th outing of the season.
Coulombe's appearance against the Mets marked his 29th of the season. The Red Sox now have a seven-day window to trade him or release him from his contract.
