Burgos

Burgos worked the final three innings against the Athletics on Friday night to pick up his first career save. He wasn’t going to be available for a few days though, so the Red Sox wanted to add a fresh arm to their bullpen for Sunday’s bullpen game against the A’s, which unfortunately costs Burgos his spot on the roster for the time being. Seth Martinez was promoted from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Burgos, who had debuted for an inning with the Giants in 2024, lowers his lifetime ERA to 2.25 by balancing that 9.00 ERA outing against this 0.00 one. He saved the rest of the pen a night after a 13-inning affair, so at least this is more true to the namesake than some three-inning saves in blowouts.

Burgos will be up as a long man after last night’s 13-inning affair. He holds a 5.63 ERA in 14 starts for Worcester this season.

Burgos, 27, joins the Red Sox after posting a 5.25 ERA in three starts in the Mexican League. He also allowed one run in 3 2/3 innings for Puerto Rico in the WBC this spring. His major league experience consists of one appearance with the Giants in 2024.
