It’s a doubleheader day for the Boston Red Sox, which means dipping into the farm system for a spot starter. William Cuevas has been called up from Pawtucket to start the nightcap against the Baltimore Orioles.
MLB allows teams to add a 26th man for a doubleheader so calling up Cuevas won’t cost another player their roster spot.
The #RedSox today recalled RHP William Cuevas from Triple-A Pawtucket as the club’s 26th man for today’s day-night doubleheader against the Orioles. Under Major League Baseball Rules, both teams are permitted to add an extra player for today’s games.
