Red Sox Adjust Roster After Doubleheader Split with Yankees

The Boston Red Sox made a roster change after splitting a doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Saturday. Following a 9-2 loss in the second game, the team optioned left-hander Raymond Burgos to Triple-A Worcester.

Burgos had been called up just a day prior to provide additional pitching support. In his appearance during the second game, he pitched 2.1 innings, allowing five earned runs on seven hits. This performance led the Red Sox to seek a different bullpen strategy for their upcoming game.

Before his call-up, Burgos had a mixed season in Worcester, holding a 3-6 record and a 5.14 ERA over 17 appearances. His major league performance this year now stands at a 5.84 ERA in four games. The Red Sox's decision to send him back is a common midseason move aimed at managing pitching resources effectively. Burgos will need to improve in Worcester to earn another chance in the majors.
