Red Sox Designate Sean Newcomb for Assignment
The Boston Red Sox announced on Saturday that they designated left-hander Sean Newcomb for assignment and recalled right-hander Luis Guerrero from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Newcomb gets the boot off the team's 40- man roster after opening the year with an 0-4 record, 3.83 ERA (3.28 FIP) and a 1.75 WHIP with 41 strikeouts and 16 walks in 40 innings pitched over 11 appearances (five starts). The 31-year-old southpaw has really struggled of late, allowing seven runs (six earned) in his last 12 1/3 innings, causing him to lose his spot on the MLB roster. If Newcomb clears waivers, he could return to Worcester and stay in Boston's organization as left-handed pitching depth. Obviously, Newcomb isn't on the fantasy radar at this time.
