Red Sox Move Buehler to Bullpen Amid Struggles

The Boston Red Sox have made several roster adjustments as they aim for a playoff push. Most notably, the team has moved veteran pitcher Walker Buehler from the starting rotation to the bullpen after he struggled with a 5.40 ERA in 22 starts this season. Buehler, who signed a one-year, $21 million contract this offseason, has shown some improvement post-All-Star break but has failed to consistently pitch deep into games. Additionally, the Red Sox signed first baseman Nate Lowe and promoted top prospect Jhostynxon Garcia, while designating Abraham Toro for assignment. Meanwhile, former Red Sox reliever Michael Fulmer has signed a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners after stints with multiple teams this season. Also, longtime closer Craig Kimbrel signed with the Houston Astros, hoping to revive his career and contribute to their playoff aspirations.
