The Boston Red Sox on Monday claimed Logan Gillaspie after the right-handed reliever was designated for assignment by the American League East-leading Baltimore Orioles.
Boston optioned Gillaspie to Triple-A Worcester, and made room for him on the 40-man roster by transferring Jarren Duran to the 60-day injured list. Duran had his season cut short due to a toe injury.
Playing in his second MLB campaign, the 26-year-old Gillaspie tossed 26 1/3 innings for the Orioles over the last two seasons. He has a 4.10 ERA in 28 career appearances, including a 3.12 ERA in 17 1/3 innings last year.
In Triple-A this year, Gillaspie has thrown 36 1/3 innings with a 4.71 ERA.
