Boston Red Sox Release Pitcher Joe La Sorsa

The Boston Red Sox announced the release of left-handed reliever Joe La Sorsa on Thursday afternoon, just hours prior to their game against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park.

The team confirmed via social media that the 28-year-old pitcher is no longer with the organization. La Sorsa's career has seen him move frequently between teams, having been drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2019 and making his major league debut in 2023. He later played for the Washington Nationals and had brief stints with the Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets before joining the Red Sox.

During his time with Boston, La Sorsa made only one major league appearance, pitching against the New York Yankees. Most of his performance this season occurred in the minor leagues, where he achieved a 2.78 ERA over 32.1 innings. Despite his ability to strike out batters and limit walks, he could not secure a permanent spot on the major league roster. The release highlights the ongoing adjustments teams make to their pitching staff throughout the season.
