The Boston Red Sox are reportedly letting go of a veteran hitter to make room for a potential improvement to their struggling pitching staff.
According to The Athletic's Chad Jennings, the Red Sox will release catcher Jonathan Lucroy and bring up pitcher Chris Mazza.
Lucroy has not recorded an at-bat in Boston's five games. Christian Vazquez and Kevin Plawecki have split time behind the plate.
The pair of backstops combined to go 8-for-20 in the opening week of the season, which may provide some comfort for the Red Sox at the position.
