Stock

Stock heads to New York as organizational depth after making a pair of relief appearances for the Red Sox last season. The 36-year-old journeyman spent most of the year at Triple-A Worcester, recording a strong 3.92 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 96/36 K/BB.ratio over 85 innings over 19 appearances (15 starts), He’ll compete for a spot in the Mets’ bullpen during spring training.

Stock made single appearances for the Red Sox in April and June, allowing a total of three runs in 2 2/3 innings. He mostly started in Triple-A and was 5-4 with a 3.92 ERA and a 96/36 K/BB in 85 innings. His control has been an issue since he became a sidearmer, but he’s a tough at-bat for right-handers, and there’s still a chance he could contribute.

Stock went unclaimed after being designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday. He could elect free agency, but seems more likely to report back to Worcester than to test those waters.

Stock, called up Saturday, struggled while trying to finish off the Yankees last night, walking three of the six batters he faced and giving up two runs. He’ll likely be going on waivers for the second time this year.

Stock returns to the majors for the first time since he was designated for assignment back in April. The 35-year-old will provide a fresh arm, but likely not in a high-leverage situation while he’s with Boston in this stint.

Stock was designated for assignment and went unclaimed. The right-hander will be a depth option in the minors in 2025, and Boston will need to select his contract again in order to add him to the MLB roster.

Stock allowed one run over two innings Monday in his first MLB appearance since 2022, but now he’s getting swapped out for a fresh arm. It’s possible someone will want to claim him as an innings-eating middle reliever.

Welcome back to the majors, Robert Stock. The 35-year-old, who pitched in 10 games for the Red Sox in 2020, had a 4.71 ERA in 72 2/3 innings for four teams from 2018-21. He’s since reinvented himself as a sidearmer, and he excelled in Mexico last year. He opened this season by pitching 8 1/3 scoreless innings with a 12/3 K/BB in two appearances for Worcester. The Red Sox will use him in middle relief for now.

Perales is recovering from Tommy John surgery and won’t be ready to pitch until the end of the summer at the earliest. Webb and Stock were signed to minor-league contracts and will need to be added to the 40-man roster if the Red Sox believe they can help the club at some point in 2025.

Stock has not pitched in the majors since 2021. The 35-year-old throws hard, but hasn’t been able to find success at the highest level thus far. He provides some depth at the Triple-A level for 2025..
