The Boston Red Sox's bench is getting a major boost for the rest of the season with versatile infielder Romy González's return from injury.
González has been out all season after undergoing shoulder surgery in March, but made his season debut on Sunday against the New York Yankees. Though Boston will enjoy having González back from injury, the team had to unfortunately option third-year catcher Mickey Gasper to open room on the roster.
The Red Sox called up Gasper in early May, and the 30-year-old catcher has made his impact with the team, slashing .243/.305/.308 with five doubles and a triple across 34 games.
Though Gasper has performed well this season, Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy revealed that the team optioned the veteran catcher to avoid having three catchers on its roster and have more versatility.
