Red Sox place RHP Isaiah Campbell on 15-day IL, INF Bobby Dalbec called up
After allowing nine runs over two nights to the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox have placed right-hander Isaiah Campbell on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement.
Infielder Bobby Dalbec is being called up from Triple-A to fill his spot on the roster.
Dalbec is expected to help bolster the Red Sox infield depth given the recent injuries to Rafael Devers and Romy Gonzalez. The good news for Boston is neither of those players are expected to go on the injured list, with Red Sox manager Alex Cora saying Rafael Devers should be back in the lineup Saturday after sitting his second straight game on Friday.
Gonzalez (sore wrist) is feeling better but still not great, Cora said, and Nick Pivetta (right elbow flexor strain) is scheduled to begin playing catch on Saturday. Vaughn Grissom (left hamstring strain) began his rehab assignment with the Worcester Red Sox and Rob Refsnyder (broken toe) is expected to be back in the lineup for the WooSox again on Saturday.
In addition to Dalbec, the Red Sox also added right-hander Cooper Criswell to the big league taxi squad. Though Cora wouldn’t confirm it and says nothing has been decided, Criswell would seem the most likely candidate to start Saturday’s game against the Angels.
