Red Sox Make Roster Move, Option Joe Jacques to Triple-A Worcester

The Boston Red Sox have been active in making adjustments to their roster this season, and on Thursday, they made another move by optioning pitcher Joe Jacques back to Triple-A Worcester. In a corresponding move, the team promoted lefty reliever Cam Booser from Worcester.

Jacques appeared in Thursday's loss to the Cleveland Guardians at Fenway Park, allowing three hits and one earned run in 1 2/3 innings. Despite his decent performance, the Red Sox decided to send him back down to the minors to make room for Booser on the major league roster.

Booser, 31, has been a journeyman pitcher throughout his career, signing with the Minnesota Twins as an undrafted free agent in 2013. He has yet to make his MLB debut but has had success at the Triple-A level, posting a 5.60 ERA and a 1.275 WHIP while striking out 11.3 per nine innings over the last two seasons.

The Red Sox' roster move came after a tough loss to the Guardians, with Boston falling 5-4 at Fenway Park. The team is still adjusting to life without some of their key players, who are currently playing winter ball in Venezuela.

In related news, the Red Sox will be inducting longtime radio announcer Dave O'Brien into the team's Hall of Fame during a pre-game ceremony on April 14. O'Brien passed away in March at the age of 58 and is remembered for his iconic calls of Red Sox games over the years.

The Red Sox are still looking to find their groove after a slow start to the season, but with moves like this one, they're trying to shake things up and get back on track.
