PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Brad Boxberger is healthy. That's the main thing after a 2016 season that saw him spend more time on the disabled list than on the field.
"Box" made only 27 appearances in 2016, just one year removed from being named an American League All-Star and leading the AL with 41 saves. He was on the DL for 99 games last season.
Looking to upgrade this year's bullpen, the addition of a healthy Boxberger will do just that.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said that having Boxberger back, and in good health, would be a big asset for the team.
