Alex Cora hints at which Red Sox prospects could be September call-ups
Relief pitcher Hector Velazquez pitches at the top of the ninth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers.This Saturday, MLB rosters expand to 40, allowing teams to call up additional players to their 40-man rosters. Five games back of a wild card spot, the Red Sox are hoping one of these minor league additions can help them claw their way into the playoffs.
Alex Cora talked to reporters on Wednesday night and described who might be given a call-up on Saturday.
“We need reinforcements. Need guy who can give us multiple innings or get specific guys out,” Cora said. “Most likely we’ll get a catcher and we’re thinking about bringing up a right-handed hitter.”
