"Jordan Hicks, who has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball since being acquired from the Giants in the Rafael Devers trade, will be going on the IL with "a shoulder issue." Is the issue merely that his shoulder is not good at throwing baseballs? That's unclear, but he'll be replaced on the roster by Chris Murphy, who has compiled a 3.05 ERA in 20.2 big league innings with the Sox this season."
"If you're wondering why it isn't Kyle Harrison who will be taking Hicks' roster spot, even though it was reported that Harrison was traveling from Worcester to Boston the other day, that's because Harrison was making the drive down the pike for a much lamer reason: to have an MRI. Harrison has been battling a lingering ankle issue with the WooSox and he traveled to Boston for further evealuation. If the MRI had come back clean, the Sox would have promoted him yesterday."
Jordan Hicks will be placed on the injured list with a shoulder issue and will be replaced on the roster by Chris Murphy, who has posted a 3.05 ERA in 20.2 big league innings. Kyle Harrison traveled from Worcester to Boston for an MRI related to a lingering ankle problem and was not promoted after the scan. Roman Anthony's injury compounds roster challenges and arrives amid an offense that has cooled despite recent wins. Alex Bregman declined to use Anthony's injury as an excuse. Anthony was replaced by Nick Sogard, chosen for his versatility.
