Pablo Reyes seems to have discovered a house in Boston.

The Boston Crimson Sox have reinstated infielder Pablo Reyes from the 10-day injured listing, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom introduced on Monday.

Reyes has been on the IL with an belly pressure since June 23. He lately performed 11 complete video games within the minor leagues whereas on rehab project, enjoying all around the subject. Reyes performed 4 video games at second base and middle subject, two because the designated hitter, and one at shortstop. He returns to a crowded Crimson Sox center infield, however the positional versatility Reyes confirmed whereas on project may assist offset that.

The Crimson Sox traded for Reyes on Might 12 to fill a gap within the center infield left vacant by accidents to Yu Chang and Christian Arroyo. However he has since been a shock revelation within the lineup, batting .303 (20-of-66) for the reason that Oakland Athletics shipped him off to Boston. If Reyes can proceed his spectacular season, he might be a key contributor to the Crimson Sox’ playoff push.

Along with reinstating Reyes, the Crimson Sox have optioned right-handed pitcher Justin Garza and left-handed pitcher Brandon Walter to Triple-A Worcester.

The Crimson Sox claimed Garza off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels on April 28. He has been a bullpen depth piece ever since, often getting known as up within the occasion of an harm. Garza has carried out to combined outcomes since transferring to Boston. He has a 7.36 ERA in 17 video games with Boston, a quantity that features the three runs he gave up in 0.2 innings in opposition to the New York Mets on Saturday.

Walter has been one of many Crimson Sox’ prized prospects since they took him within the twenty sixth spherical of the 2019 MLB Draft. He’s slotted at or across the high 10 on most main prospect rankings, together with seventh on MLB.com, eighth on Baseball America and eleventh on SoxProspects.com. 

The southpaw’s numbers as a member of Triple-A Worcester have been considerably disappointing, as he posted a 6.08 ERA in 14 video games (12 begins) in Portland, however his main league appearances have been significantly better. In six video games with the Crimson Sox, Walter has a 3.08 ERA.

Walter’s optioning was possible carried out to additional his growth as a possible starter, and never only a bullpen arm. It’s additionally possible that two pitchers in Walter and Garza have been optioned in order that the Crimson Sox may delay the troublesome, inevitable determination with regard to their center infield. However as of now, Reyes seems to be right here to remain, and we nearly actually haven’t seen the final of Walter or Garza on the big-league degree.
