Toro, in 76 games for the Red Sox this season, is hitting .244 with a .672 OPS. He had 13 doubles, seven home runs, 27 RBI, 33 runs scored, two stolen bases, and 14 walks. He had a hot stretch earlier in the season, which kept him with the team, but with the signing of Nathaniel Lowe and his recent struggles, he’s now expendable.
