Red Sox Reportedly Designate Recent Pickup For Assignment

The Red Sox reportedly did some roster tweaking before their series finale against the Braves. Boston is expected to option Naoyuki Iwasawa to Triple A-Worcester in order to create an active roster sport for Nick Pivetta, who's slated to return from injury and start Wednesday night in Atlanta. Romy González also is ready to rejoin the Red Sox after a stint on the injured list, and the club is set to designate Zack Short for assignment to open a roster spot, as first reported by The Boston Globe's Julian McWilliams.
