The Boston Red Sox are off tonight before starting a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles tomorrow which will also be their home opener and will see them honor the 2004 World Series team as well as the late Tim Wakefield as well as his wife Stacy, and the late former President and CEO of the team Larry Larry Lucchino. The game will feature Bryan Bello making his third start of the season, he is 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, and eight strikeouts in ten innings. Bello is taking on Corbin Burnes who is also making his third start and is 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA, a 0.86 WHIP, and 14 strikeouts in 11.2 innings. The Red Sox made the following roster moves today as they optioned INF Bobby Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester and called up INF Romy Gonzalez from Triple-A Worcester. A move that made sense with Gonzalez’s hot start and the injury to Trevor Story.
Red Sox Moves By The Numbers
Romy Gonzalez
Gonzalez spent the majority of his big league career with the Chicago White Sox playing in 86 games and he hit .222 with a .600 OPS; he’s hit 11 doubles, three triples, five home runs, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored, seven stolen bases, and five walks. Last season with the White Sox he went 18-93 in 44 games with four doubles, two triples, three home runs, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored, seven stolen bases, and two walks. This spring in 17 games he hit .242 with a .670 OPS; he had a double, a home run, two RBI, four runs scored, four stolen bases, and two walks. To start this season with Worcester he is 9-28 with a double, two triples, three home runs, ten RBI, five runs scored, a stolen base, and two walks.
Bobby Dalbec
Dalbec last season played in 114 games with Worcester hitting .269 with a .938 OPS; he had 14 doubles, three triples, 33 home runs, 79 RBI, 82 runs scored, 18 stolen bases, and 64 walks. With the Red Sox last season, he played 21 games going 10-49 with two doubles, a home run, an RBI, six runs scored, a stolen base, and four walks. This spring in 23 games he hit .222 with a .718 OPS; he had a double, three home runs, nine RBI, seven runs scored, two stolen bases, and seven walks which led to him making the team out of camp but he has started the season going 0-9 with six strikeouts which led to this move.
