The Boston Red Sox are moving on from one of their pitchers.
According to MassLive's Chris Cotillo, the Red Sox are designating relief pitcher Seth Martinez for assignment. In addition, Cotillo reported that the Red Sox have called up pitcher Alec Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester.
Martinez being designated for assignment by the Red Sox comes just a few days after he had his contract selected by the American League East team. Now, with this latest news, the rest of the league has the opportunity to claim him if they wish to.

Martinez appeared in one game with the Red Sox, where he allowed one earned run on two hits and struck out one batter in one inning pitched. This was after he posted a 0-0 record, a 5.40 ERA, and four strikeouts in six appearances with the Miami Marlins last season.
Martinez has spent most of this season with Triple-A Worcester, however. In 33 games this season with the Triple-A club, Martinez posted a 3-2 record, a 5.55 ERA, and 49 strikeouts.
Teams looking for more pitching depth could consider taking a gamble on Martinez. In 118 career MLB games split between the Houston Astros, Marlins, and Red Sox, he has posted a 6-6 record, a 4.03 ERA, and 127 strikeouts.
