A Boston Red Sox pitcher chose not to accept a minor league assignment, leaving the club with roster flexibility
The past week has been one of the most turbulent portions of the season, especially for the pitchers. Nick Pivetta had one of his starts skipped, Brayan Bello went on paternity leave, and James Paxton went on the 15-day injured list with a calf strain.
On Tuesday, those roster moves had ramifications, as one of the veteran options in the bullpen decided to leave the organization. That opens a spot on the 40-man roster that Boston could fill internally with a minor-league player or add from outside the organization via free-agent pickup or waiver claim. The waiver deadline is August 31.
