The Red Sox announced that pitcher Anthony Varvaro has been returned to the club. The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on April 29th and claimed off waivers by the Cubs days later.
Varvaro, it turns out, had a right flexor strain and the Red Sox say they were unaware of how severe the injury was. Both clubs agreed that it “would be appropriate to return Varvaro to the Red Sox for placement on the disabled list in accordance with the major league rules.”
