The Red Sox added former Twins catcher Caleb Hamilton to their roster on Tuesday, per the league’s transaction log.
In a corresponding move, the team designated Abraham Almonte for assignment.
Hamilton made his first major-league appearance this season and went 1-for-18 with the Twins. His lone hit was a homer on Sept. 25 after starting his MLB career 0-for-12 at the plate.
Hamilton’s debut came after seven years of climbing in the minors. He was drafted in the 23rd round in 2016 and joined the Appalachian League. A Washington native who played college baseball for Oregon State, Hamilton told the NW News that the minor leagues — and all the tiny towns in which games are played — were a great life lesson.
