Hirokazu Sawamura Lands On Injured List Friday
3 years agoThe Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Hirokazu Sawamura (triceps) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with right triceps inflammation and recalled right-hander Phillips Valdez from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Sawamura has been a solid piece for the Red Sox bullpen with his 2.87 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44/18 K/BB in 37 2/3 relief innings in his first year in Beantown. However, the 33-year-old Japanese reliever is much more valuable in real life to the Red Sox than for fantasy managers. There is no timetable for his return. Valdez has a 4.24 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 21/12 K/BB in 23 1/3 innings over 20 relief appearances for the Red Sox in 2021, but he can also be ignored in fantasy.
