Short is out of minor league options, so the Sox didn't have the ability to send him to Worcester without taking him off the 40-man roster...Boston acquired him for cash on May 1.
Teams have nevertheless been intrigued by his ability to handle multiple spots on the infield...Defensive Runs Saved has been more favorable, crediting him with average shortstop defense.
The Sox will trade Short or place him on waivers within the next few days...he has yet to clear waivers despite being designated for assignment by each of Detroit, New York and now Boston since the end of last season.
Pivetta will take the ball tomorrow, his first MLB start in a little more than a month...the Sox expressed confidence it was a mild issue that wouldn't keep him down long.
