Carpenter

Carpenter is scheduled to undergo surgery soon to remove a bone spur from his throwing elbow. The 26-year-old right-hander will be out of commission for a couple months.

The situation is finally resolved after close to four months of fruitless haggling. Carpenter, 26, was a third-round pick in the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft. He can touch 100 mph with his fastball, but the right-hander posted an ugly 5.91 ERA in 42 2/3 minor-league innings last season and projects as nothing more than a middle reliever. The Sox will also get a player to be named later and will send the Cubs a player to be named later at some future date.

Carpenter pitched a scoreless seventh, but he walked three and allowed a hit to start the eighth and all of the runners came around to score. He wasn’t much of a candidate to make the Red Sox this spring anyway, but he hasn’t helped himself so far.

The procedure will be preformed by Dr. James Andrews and will likely sideline Carpenter for a couple of months. The 26-year-old right-hander was acquired this offseason as compensation for GM Theo Epstein.

Carpenter, who was acquired from the Cubs as compensation for Theo Epstein, underwent surgery in April to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. He’ll likely remain in the minors once he’s back to full health.

Carpenter is recovered from right elbow surgery and ready to contribute as a long reliever down the stretch for Boston. He posted a 1.15 ERA and struck out 17 batters in 15 2/3 tuneup innings at the Triple-A level.

Carpenter is fully recovered from surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, but there’s no room for him in Boston’s bullpen. It’s possible he could be up later this season.

Carpenter was designated for assignment by the Red Sox earlier Tuesday, and the Cubs could claim him on waivers if Boston doesn’t trade him first. The hard-throwing right-hander has put up a 5.17 ERA over 18 appearances the last two seasons with the Cubs and Red Sox.

Carpenter was designated for assignment last month following the Mike Napoli signing but has cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. The hard-throwing right-hander has put up a 5.17 ERA over 18 appearances the last two seasons with the Cubs and Red Sox.

The move clears a spot for Mike Napoli on the 40-man roster. Carpenter, who was acquired from the Cubs last offseason as compensation for Theo Epstein, missed a large part of last season following elbow surgery and posted a 9.00 ERA in eight appearances with the big club. The hard-throwing right-hander figures to draw interest on waivers.
