Worcester Player Move Today

The Boston Red Sox today sent left-handed pitcher Jovani Morán to Worcester on an injury rehab assignment. Moran was placed on the Red Sox 15-Day Injured List on June 6 (retroactive to June 5) with left elbow inflammation. Morán, 29, has pitched in 21 games (three starts) for Boston this season, posting a 3.00 ERA (11 ER/33.0 IP) while holding opponents to a .172 batting average (20-for-116). He has struck out 38 in his 33 innings.

The WooSox have used a total of 50 players already this season (32 pitchers and 18 position players). Jovani Morán will be #51 when he makes his 2026 WooSox debut.

JUNE 25th TOLEDO (2-0)/(36-40) at WORCESTER (0-2)/(36-37) 6:45 pm

Toledo Mud Hens RHP Sawyer Gipson-Long (2-3, 4.47) vs. Worcester Red Sox RHP Brayan Bello (0-0, 5.19)

Below Deck - The Worcester Red Sox (36-37) need a win tonight to avoid matching their season-low of 2-games under .500 from May 23-25 (when they were 23-25 ironically). The WooSox look to get in the win column tonight in game three of their 6-game series against the Toledo Mud Hens (AAA-Detroit) at 6:45 pm at Polar Park. They have lost the first two games here to the Hens the past two nights, 4-1 on Tuesday and 5-4 last night to fall to 0-2 in the 2nd half and 36-37 overall. It marks the first time in a month that the WooSox have dropped below .500 since they were 24-25 on May 26. Tonight's game will be televised live on NESN+ and can be heard on NASH 98.9 FM.

Hosting Hens - This 6-game set vs. Toledo will feature two more night games at 6:45 pm (tonight & tomorrow) and then usual Polar Park weekend start times of 4:05 pm on Saturday and 1:05 pm on Sunday. The WooSox and Mud Hens are meeting this week/weekend for their only series against each other this season.

Trying to Turn the Beat Around - Worcester has lost 5 of 6 and 9 of their last 12 games following a 4-game winning streak from June 4-9.
