Boston-in three weeks since Sad Casas suffered a knee injury that ended the season, the Red Sox have used exclusively internal options to occupy their first base vacancy. On Thursday they made an external addition through trade.
Boston acquired the first basketball/outfielder Ryan NODA of the angels for cash considerations and immediately opted for Triple-A, where he will join the Woosox. NODA required a ranking place of 40 men, so Boston transferred the rehabilitation camper/DH Masataka Yoshida to the 60 -day wounded list. It is a paper movement that does not affect Yoshida Time.
NODA is a 29-year-old left heartbeat that has spent the first part of the season with the Angels triple-a subsidiary in Salt Lake after the Halos acquired it in November. He hit only .148 with four Homers, eight RBI, 53 attacks and a .633 Ops in 154 appearances on the plaque to begin the year. The old Atletico, however, is only two years old withdrawing from a good new leagues at the big leagues.
Noda published a 2,2-bwar season in Oakland in 2023 to choose the rule 5, hitting .229 with 16 men, 54 RBIS and a .770 Ops in 128 games for A. He published a 15.6% walk rate as a Novio. After serving as the first base of the opening day last year, it was searched earlier (it arrived on May 1 on May 1) and was sent to Triple-A, where he spent most of the year before returning to the games on September 11. The halos claimed resignations and hooked the minors to start the season.
NODA, who spent time in the organizations of Blue Jays and Dodgers before incorporating -is simply a piece of depth that should play different positions in Worcester after making 13 games in the right field, eight in the first base, four in the left field and four in the central field so that Salt Lake starts the year. Currently, the Red Sox have Nick Sogard and Abraham Toro dividing the time to the first base with Romy Gonzalez (Quad) on the list of injuries. Kristian Campbell has begun to take performances in the position, which could cause Marcelo Mayer to be called to play the second base. So far, there is no indication that the Red Sox thinks that Rafael deters will change their minds and start learning first.
Yoshida has not yet played this season after undergoing surgery to repair a labrum torn on the shoulder in early October. The continued pain while launching launching a cortisone shot earlier this month, and Yoshida has just restarted his launch program by playing 60 feet on Wednesday.. Anyway, it would not be ready on Monday (the 61st day of the season), so the change to the 60 -day Il does not affect its line of time to return. It only erases a place of 40 men for NODA. Yoshida is still a path away from activation.
