The Red Sox have activated right-hander John Schreiber from the 60-day injured list. An opening on the active roster was created by the Enrique Hernández trade. Boston’s 40-man roster is at capacity after the Sox outrighted reliever Norwith Gudiño this afternoon.
Schreiber has been out since May 16 due to a teres major strain in his throwing shoulder. The injury brought a halt to what had been an excellent start to his season. The low-slot righty has allowed only five runs (four earned) through 17 innings. He’s striking out 30% of opponents with a massive 59% ground-ball percentage.
A former waiver claim from Detroit, Schreiber had a breakout season with Boston in 2022. Through 65 innings, he worked to a 2.22 ERA with a 28.8% strikeout percentage and 56.3% grounder rate. He looked on his way to approximating that production before the shoulder issue. Schreiber figures to step back into a high-leverage role for Alex Cora, though he’s slated for his first major league start this evening against Atlanta. He’ll kick off a bullpen game for the 53-47 Red Sox.
Gudiño was called up over the weekend for the first time but didn’t make an MLB appearance. He’ll return to Triple-A Worcester, where he has a 5.54 ERA in 20 appearances on the season.

hope he’s 100% he’s a huge asset

Agreed. I didn’t realize he had been out for 2 months.

But don’t they need yet another 40 man slot as part of the trade? Only one of the two arms was a non-40 man player.
Then youve STILL got yet a 3rd issue brewing with the returning short stops.
Ham Lambert
I think Garza’s time on the 40 is over. Jaques too. And Yes when Story comes back Chang, Perez or Arroyo will loose their spot on the 25/40. I think it will be Perez but lets see if he gets hot and stays useful. others like Abreu, or even a Dalbec trade or Kluber release will open up a spot too.

Do you mean Reyes when you say Perez?
Ham Lambert
yes, sorry

The Red Sox outrighted Norwith Gudino off the 40 man roster today.

was he on it? he was the 27th player for the double header which they said doesn’t require to be on the 40 man.
Anthony Franco
Ah yeah, nice catch. Sox didn’t announce the corresponding move and I forgot Gudino had gotten called up as an intervening move after Faria’s DFA. Post is updated, thanks!

He’s up for a tough assignment. The Atlanta Braves.

Kike Hernandez returned Nick Robertson, so no 40-man opening was created there.
Angry Disgruntled Sox Fan
I believe Robertson was sent to AAA

Robertson wasn’t removed from the 40-man, he was optioned.

Saw him toss an inning in AA on rehab assignment last week. He looked good.
