The latest minor league moves from around the sport…
- The Red Sox outrighted Austin Brice to Triple-A Worcester after the reliever cleared waivers. Brice was designated for assignment yesterday to create roster room for Jarren Duran’s promotion to the big leagues. Since this is the second time Brice has been outrighted off Boston’s 40-man roster this season, he had the option of opting for free agency, but the right-hander has apparently decided to remain with the Red Sox. Over two seasons with the Sox, Brice has a 6.21 ERA over 33 1/3 innings.
- The Red Sox have acquired right-hander Victor Santos from the Phillies, both teams announced. The move officially completes the January trade that saw infielder C.J. Chatham dealt to Philadelphia way back in January. Santos will report to Boston’s Double-A affiliate, and will change organizations less than a week after celebrating his 21st birthday. The righty has looked good over 41 combined innings at high-A and Double-A ball this season, posting a 2.20 ERA and 24.24% strikeout rate while working exclusively as a starter in four Double-A outings.
