Add RHP Caleb Bolden transferred from Portland.

Add RHP Sam McWilliams signed as a free agent (from Tijuana of Mexican League).

RHP Caleb Bolden, 27, has spent all of this season with Double-A Portland going 2-3 with a 5.27 ERA in 19 games (1 start) - 41 IP, 40 H, 26 R, 24 ER, 16 BB, 50 SO. The Texas native was Boston's 7th round pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft out of Texas Christian University. In five Minor League seasons he is 10-13 with a 4.87 ERA in 104 games (21 starts). This will be his Triple-A debut with the WooSox.

RHP Sam McWilliams, 30, has been pitching for Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican League this season. He was 2-1 with a 3.04 ERA in 24 relief appearances - 26.2 IP, 23 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 12 BB, 42 SO. The 30-year-old was originally selected by Philadelphia in the 8th round of the 2014 First-Year Player Draft out of high school in Hendersonville, TN. The 6'7" righty has never pitched in the Major Leagues but has reached Triple-A with El Paso (SD) in 2021, the Syracuse Mets (2021), the Iowa Cubs (2024), and most recently in 2024 & 2025 with Nashville (AAA-Milwaukee). Last season he went 0-2 with a 5.66 ERA in 18 relief appearances for the Nashville Sounds. Overall, in ten Minor League seasons he is 38-51 with a 4.67 ERA in 208 games (105 starts).

McWilliams has not yet arrived in Syracuse tonight, so we do not know his uniform number.
