The Red Sox are reportedly calling up left-handed relief pitcher Joe Jacques prior to the start of a three-game series against the Yankees on Friday.
Joel Sherman of The New York Post first reported the news, as Jacques will fill the vacated roster spot left by another recent Boston call-up — Matt Dermody — who Boston manager Alex Cora said would be designated for assignment following Thursday’s 10-3 loss to the Guardians.
Jacques, 28, will be making his Major League debut if called upon by Cora. He’s pitched 27.2 innings for Triple-A Worcester so far in 2023, compiling a 1-3 record and a 3.
