Red Sox, reinforcements continue series versus Royals (Jun 21, 2017)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sam Travis and Devin Marrero were summoned from the minors Tuesday.
Red Sox manager John Farrell immediately placed them in the lineup and they contributed in Boston’s 8-3 triumph over the Kansas City Royals.
They both should be getting ample playing time in the next few weeks as the Red Sox and Royals wind up their three-game series Wednesday in Kansas City.
“There’s more depth,” Farrell said in recalling Travis and Marrero. “We’ve got the ability to cover ourselves in the event of an in-game type situation. They’ve been here recently. They’ve had contributions made. And we’ve got the ability to better equip ourselves to get through Pedi’s situation as well as Mitch.”
