- Isiah Kiner-Falefa activated from injured list after rehab stint.
- Eduardo Rivera moved to 60-day injured list with lumbar strain.
The Boston Red Sox executed several roster moves on Tuesday, impacting both their pitching and infield depth. Right-handed pitcher Jedixson Paez was added to the Major League roster from Triple-A Worcester and is slated to start the upcoming game against the Seattle Mariners. Paez, 22, has shown promise in the minor leagues with a 3.37 ERA over his career.
Infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa, 31, has been officially reinstated from the 60-Day Injured List. He completed a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Worcester, batting .241 over nine games. Kiner-Falefa had been sidelined since June 19 with left forearm inflammation.
In corresponding moves, left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rivera, 23, was recalled from Worcester but immediately placed on the 60-Day Injured List due to a lumbar strain. Rivera had made four appearances for the Red Sox this season in his Major League debut. Infielder Brett Harris, 28, was designated for assignment.
