K. Barraclough - RP

BOS

Red Sox designate RHP Kyle Barraclough for assignment.

The veteran reliever turned starter pitched well in Triple-A but struggled to a 12.91 ERA and 2.61 WHIP across 7 2/3 innings with the big league club. He will likely be on the hunt for another minor league contract this winter.

Z. Kelly - RP

BOS

Red Sox activated RHP Zack Kelly from the 60-day injured list.

Kelly has missed most of the season as he recovered from below surgery in early April. The 28-year-old pitched well out of Boston’s bullpen last season, posting a 3.95 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 11/4 K/BB ratio over 13 2/3 innings. He will likely pitch in lower-leverage situations during the final week of the season.

Tim Anderson is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Red Sox.

Anderson hits the bench after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday’s low scoring affair in Boston. On the season, the 30-year-old is hitting .248/.290/.300 with one homer and 13 stolen bases across 507 plate appearances. Elvis Andrus will bat leadoff as the White Sox’ shortstop in his absence.

Noelvi Marte is not in the Reds’ starting lineup for Sunday’s finale against the Pirates.

With the Reds facing a right-hander, Jake Fraley takes over as the designated hitter with Christian Encarnacion-Strand manning the hot corner in a must-win game for Cincinnati on Sunday. The rookie is hitting .293/.350/.380 with one home run and six stolen bases across 100 plate appearances.

The injury effectively ends the 29-year-old’s rookie campaign. The right-hander posted a 5.2 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and 58/30 K/BB ratio while registering a 1-9 record over 85 innings. He will likely start next season in Chicago’s rotation.
