Red Sox acquired RHP Jorge Alcala from the Twins for INF Andy Lugo.

19 minutes ago

The deal is now official. Alcala ships up to Boston as a bit of a reclamation project after posting a disastrous 8.88 ERA across 24 1/3 innings (22 appearances) to open the year. The Red Sox are dealing with several injuries to key relievers, so the move represents a relatively low-cost gamble that could pay off, especially if Alcala re-discovers the form that enabled him to register a solid 3.24 ERA over 58 1/3 innings (53 appearances) last season for Minnesota. The 29-year-old righty was due for a change of scenery. He figures to pitch in middle relief out of Boston’s bullpen.

Twins acquired INF Andy Lugo from the Red Sox for RHP Jorge Alcala.

20 minutes ago

The definition of a lottery ticket, Lugo heads to Minnesota after posting a .265/.327/.430 triple-slash line with four homers and four steals over 44 games this season for High-A Greenville. He’s an intriguing talent, but isn’t one of the more highly-regarded prospects in Boston’s absolutely loaded minor league system.

Red Sox designated RHP Brian Van Belle for assignment.

Van Belle loses his spot on Boston’s 40-man roster with righty reliever Jorge Alcala coming over from the Twins in a small trade. The 28-year-old righty was called up earlier this week from Triple-A Worcester and didn’t end up getting into a game for the Red Sox. There’s a decent chance he’s scooped up off waivers by another organization in need of relief help.

Byron Buxton went 3-for-3 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk, and a stolen base in a 6-2 win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

22 minutes ago

Buxton did it all from the lead-off spot in this game. His homer – which was scalded at 111.6 mph and traveled and outrageous 479 feet – quickly vaulted the Twins ahead after they’d fallen behind 2-0 early. He never gave the Rangers’ pitchers a moment of peace by reaching base in each of his ensuing plate appearances too. This is some of the most consistent baseball Buxton has played in a long time. Just please stay healthy.
