The Boston Red Sox are parting ways with one of their pitchers.
The Red Sox have announced that they have designated pitcher Ryan Watson for assignment.
Watson being designated for assignment by the Red Sox comes after the American League East team had a busy 2026 MLB Trade Deadline. The Red Sox also shared that newcomer Erik Miller will be replacing Watson on their active roster.

Before being designated for assignment, Watson appeared in his first 35 career major league games this season. During them, he posted a 1-0 record, a 4.53 ERA, and 43 strikeouts in 55.2 innings pitched. Overall, he was a serviceable reliever when called upon by the Red Sox, but his time on their roster is coming to a close.

Teams looking for pitching help could consider taking a flier on Watson. The 6-foot-5 righty has shown that he can be used as a long reliever, and those kinds of pitchers are never bad to have around in the bullpen. Furthermore, with Watson being only 28 years old, he is young enough that he could still hit a new level.
It will now be interesting to see what happens with Watson from here. It would not be surprising if another team ends up claiming him off waivers from the Red Sox.
