The Boston Red Sox made a series of moves this winter to bolster their bullpen, assembling one of the league’s most dominant core of relievers. Now they just have to get them to the regular season in one piece.
Boston’s bullpen got a bit of a scare when reliever Carson Smith exited Monday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals after facing only one batter in the 7th inning when he experienced cramping and tightness in his right forearm.
John Farrell revealed after the game that the move was precautionary, but Smith will be evaluated further back in Fort Myers tomorrow.
