Jhoulys Chacin must have done enough in his bullpen session with the Red Sox on Friday.
Boston on Saturday announced it signed the former Milwaukee Brewers pitcher to a minor-league deal. Chacin will report to Triple-A Pawtucket.
The #RedSox today signed free agent RHP Jhoulys Chacin to a minor league (AAA) contract.

Chacin was released from Milwaukee last week after going 3-10 with a 5.79 ERA.
The Red Sox can expand their roster beginning Sunday and can recall Chacin if need be. He also will be eligible for the postseason.
The 31-year-old certainly will provide some depth at the starting pitcher position with Chris Sale out and the team reliant on Rick Porcello, Nathan Eovaldi, Eduardo Rodriguez and David Price. Chacin also could provide bullpen help, as he made 12 relief appearances for the Los Angeles Angels in 2016.
