Red Sox Pitchers Headline Off-Day News With Award, Transaction

The Boston Red Sox return to Fenway Park with momentum from a 5-1 road trip and a series victory over the New York Yankees over the weekend.

With the off-day on Monday, the Red Sox made a transaction by optioning Cam Booser back to Triple-A Worcester, per a team release. The left-hander holds a 3.00 ERA in 27 appearances for Boston this season and likely got the option in a pending roster shuffle.

The Red Sox did recently make a swap of minor-league arms that adds depth before the series with the Oakland Athletics at Fenway Park.

Meanwhile in Worcester, right-handed pitcher Cooper Criswell picked up International League Player of the Week honors after a tremendous start last time out with six innings of one-hit ball with eight strikeouts.

The Red Sox return to action on Tuesday night to start their penultimate series before the All-Star break with the Athletics. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. You can catch the game, plus an hour of pregame coverage, on NESN.
