Boston Red Sox left-handed reliever Cam Booser (elbow) is recovering from left-elbow inflammation and will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday. Booser could return to the major-league bullpen soon after that, barring any setbacks. The 32-year-old veteran southpaw has been on the shelf with elbow inflammation since the middle of August but is nearing a return and should finish out the year with the Red Sox. In his first year in the big leagues in 2024, Booser has made 41 appearances out of Boston's bullpen, going 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA (3.34 FIP), a 1.24 WHIP, his first career save, 42 strikeouts and 13 walks in 42 frames. When he's back in the big leagues, fantasy managers can continue to ignore him everywhere.
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Cam Booser has re-signed with the organization on Saturday. The two sides have agreed on a minor-league deal for the upcoming 2023 campaign. The expectation is that the left-hander will serve as extra bullpen depth for the Red Sox next season. He posted a 4.99 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 66/24 K/BB ratio across 57 2/3 innings (48 appearances) with Triple-A Worcester last season. He has yet to reach the majors, but figures to begin the season in Triple-A once again.
