The Red Sox recalled left-handed pitcher Brandon Walter and infielder Enmanuel Valdez to their major league roster ahead of their three-game series against the Royals.
Walter last appeared in a game for Boston in late July before being optioned to Triple-A Worcester last month. Since re-joining the WooSox on August 11, the 26-year-old owns a 1.42 ERA over 25 u2153 innings.
The lefty will presumably come out of the Red Sox’ bullpen as he will be just one of two healthy southpaw relievers, joining Joe Jacques. Walter was used as a starter in Worcester’s rotation despite only appearing in relief for the Red Sox in 2023.
