Red Sox's Roster Shake-Up: Chang Returns, Sherriff DFA'd, Hernandez and Arroyo on the Chopping Block

The Boston Red Sox have made several roster moves, welcoming back shortstop Yu Chang and lefty starter James Paxton while optioning infielder David Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester and placing righty reliever Kaleb Ort on the injured list. To make room for Chang, the Red Sox designated Triple-A reliever Ryan Sherriff for assignment. Chang will assume starting shortstop duties, providing a defensive upgrade until Trevor Story returns from the injured list.

Marcelo Mayer Promoted to Double-A Portland in Red Sox System

Red Sox top prospect Marcelo Mayer is one step closer to the big leagues as he moves to Portland. However, neither he nor shortstop Yu Chang, who is on a rehab assignment, will be helping the struggling Sox bats anytime soon. Meanwhile, former Red Sox player Doug Mientkiewicz says he will "die a lonely man," and Alex Cora is fine with the team's recent 4-5 road trip. The Celtics' big game is also taking attention away from the Red Sox.

Red Sox Infielder's Rehab Delayed Despite Opening Day Starter's Return.

Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang, who broke the hamate bone in his left wrist just over a month ago, has suffered a setback in his rehab assignment and is returning to Boston for treatment. Chang's first rehab game was pushed back two days due to soreness in his wrist, and he was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in his one game with Double-A Portland. There's no clear timeline for his return to the big leagues, but the Red Sox will probably have to wait longer for him to come back than originally expected.

Red Sox's Yu Chang Sidelined with Hamate Fracture

The Boston Red Sox have placed infielder Yu Chang on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamate fracture, and he will require surgery and an absence of roughly six weeks. This will further deplete the Red Sox's middle infield, which has already taken many hits this year. Infielder Enmanuel Valdéz was recalled in a corresponding move to support the regular starting duo of Enrique Hernández and Christian Arroyo.

Enmanuel Valdez Shines in MLB Debut for Red Sox

Boston Red Sox prospect Enmanuel Valdez was sent back down to Triple-A Worcester after his Major League Baseball debut on Wednesday. The move was made to make room for Yu Chang, who returned from the paternity list. Valdez went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in his debut but also committed an error at second base. Red Sox manager Alex Cora praised Valdez's batting skills and said they will play at the big league level.

Yu Chang leads Red Sox to comeback victory over Angels.

Yu Chang broke out of his slump with a historic performance, becoming the only MLB player since 1920 to have a four-RBI game after entering a matchup 0-for-15 or worse with zero RBI on the season. He hit a two-run home run and a go-ahead two-run single in the Boston Red Sox's comeback win over the Los Angeles Angels, ending his 0-for-28 drought. Chang credited his coaches for giving him consistent opportunities to play and not dwelling on his past struggles.

Red Sox Send Dalbec and Alfaro to Minors in Roster Finalization.

The Boston Red Sox have reassigned catcher Jorge Alfaro to minor league camp and optioned infielder Bobby Dalbec, paving the way for catcher Connor Wong and infielder Yu Chang to make the club in reserve roles. Alfaro, who signed a minor league deal with the Sox in the offseason, will head to Triple-A Worcester to start the season. Meanwhile, Dalbec will move all around the infield for the WooSox, perhaps allowing him to return to the big leagues in a utility role somewhere down the line.

Red Sox demote Dalbec and Alfaro, promote Chang to roster.

The Boston Red Sox have sent Bobby Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester, clearing the way for Yu Chang to make the team as the utility infielder. Connor Wong won the backup catching spot despite missing much of camp with a hamstring strain. Two decisions remain for the final outfield spot and the last spot in the bullpen. The decision to send Dalbec down was influenced by his lack of experience at shortstop and the fact that he still has Minor League options.

The Boston Red Sox have demoted infielder Bobby Dalbec and catcher Jorge Alfaro to Triple-A Worcester, with Yu Chang beating out Dalbec for the final infield spot and Connor Wong serving as the primary backup to starting catcher Reese McGuire.

Wong, who hit .400 in three games, hasn't appeared in a spring training game since March 2 because of a hamstring injury.
