BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox’s outfield just got a lot less crowded.
Interim manager Torey Lovullo said ahead of Boston’s game against the New York Yankees on Tuesday that he does not foresee Hanley Ramirez playing in the outfield again this season. This came shortly after Alejandro De Aza was traded to the San Francisco Giants at Monday’s Major League Baseball waiver trade deadline.
Lovullo said that with Ramirez’s shoulder injury and the fact that Mookie Betts, Rusney Castillo, and Jackie Bradley Jr. have been playing so well in the outfield, the Red Sox have decided to go in a different direction.
