Worcester Red Sox News Release


WOOSOX ROSTER MOVES TODAY - The Boston Red Sox have signed LHP Raymond Burgos and he was added to the WooSox roster today. The Red Sox also transferred RHP Cade Feeney from Double-A Portland to Worcester. To make room for Burgos and Feeney, the WooSox placed INF Nathan Hickey on the development list and transferred LHP Erik Rivera back to Portland.

Burgos, 27, has been pitching for Guerreros de Oxaca of the Mexican League this season going 0-0 with a 5.25 ERA in 3 starts - 12 IP, 12 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 BB, 8 SO. He also pitched for his native Puerto Rico in the 2026 WBC this past March tossing 3.2 innings while allowing 1 run with 4 strikeouts. Burgos split last season between a pair of San Francisco affiliates making 9 relief appearances for Double-A Richmond (0-0, 2.89) and 17 relief appearances for Triple-A Sacramento (1-0, 3.63). Overall in seven seasons in the Minor Leagues, he has posted a 22-15 record with a 3.32 ERA in 144 games (22 starts) with 306 strikeouts in 295.1 innings. The 6'4", 209 lbs. lefty from Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, was originally selected by Cleveland in the 18th round of the 2016 First-Year Player Draft. He signed with San Francisco in 2024 and made his first and only Major League appearance with the Giants in 2024 (1 inning, 1 run, 1 strikeout).

MAY 7th SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE (19-15) at WORCESTER (19-15) 6:05 pm

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders RHP Adam Kloffenstein (1-1, 3.72) vs. Worcester Red Sox RHP Seth Martinez (1-1, 4.70)

All Tied Up - The Worcester Red Sox and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (AAA-New York Yankees) - who have split two entertaining games to begin this series and thus remain tied atop the International League East division with identical 19-15 records - bid for the upper hand in both this series and the IL standings when they play game three of their 6-game set tonight at 6:05 pm. Tonight's game is live on NESN and can be heard on NASH 98.9 FM and the rest of the WooSox Radio Network.

The Rest of This Series - The Sox and RailRiders play tonight and tomorrow (Friday) evenings both at 6:05 pm and then continue and conclude this 6-game set over the weekend with usual Saturday (4:05 pm) and Sunday (1:05 pm) Polar Park start times.

Crowded at the Top - Worcester is currently tied for 1st -place in the International League East division with Scranton/WB and Syracuse as all three clubs have a 19-15 record.. The WooSox have been alone or had a share of first since April 30. Memphis is in 1st -place in the IL West division and owns the overall league lead with their 23-12 record.

Come out and Play - Heading into action tonight, Worcester has played each of their first 17 scheduled home games - their longest stretch to open a season without a home postponement since their inaugural 2021 campaign. During Worcester's inaugural season in 2021, which did not commence at home until May 11 due to Covid-restrictions, it took until their 28th home game before they finally had a home game postponed (July 2, 2021 vs. Scranton/WB). Next on the list was 2023 when the Sox were also able to play their first 16 scheduled Polar Park games until a rainout on May 3, 2023 vs. Buffalo. In 2022 the Sox had their third home game postponed due to rain and in both 2024 & 2025 the WooSox had their second home games each year postponed due to inclement weather. This week/weekend we hope to stop a streak that has seen Scranton/Wilkes-Barre have at least one postponement in each of their first six series played to date resulting in six make-up doubleheaders already this season.
