The Red Sox activated Sims (lat) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. Sims missed a little more than three weeks of time with a right lat strain but has been cleared to rejoin the Boston bullpen after making a couple rehab appearances with Triple-A Worcester. He's collected an 8.10 ERA in 11 outings for the Red Sox and will likely be pegged for middle relief.

Sims (lat) walked two and recorded a strikeout in one-third of an inning in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. Sims is three weeks removed from going on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain, but he's ramping up in the minors and could be ready to rejoin the Boston bullpen by the end of the week. The right-hander has struggled with Boston since being acquired at the trade deadline, allowing nine runs with a 7:7 K:BB over 10 innings.

The Red Sox placed Sims on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Sims has been terrible since being acquired at the trade deadline, surrendering nine runs with a 7:7 K:BB over 10 innings. Now he will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks, and in all likelihood, longer.

Sims allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over one inning, picking up a blown save in Monday's 5-4 loss to Houston. The Red Sox seemingly were in control late, but the bullpen -- Sims and Kenley Jansen -- allowed the Astros to tie and then win the game in the final two innings. With two outs and the bases empty in the eighth inning, Sims allowed back-to-back hits that erased Boston's one-run lead. Sims was added at the trade deadline to help a faltering bullpen, and he's done fine when not facing the Astros. In three appearances against Houston while in a Boston uniform, Sims has allowed six runs on six hits and three walks over 3.1 innings.

The Red Sox acquired Sims from the Reds on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Ovis Portes, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Sims has posted a 3.57 ERA and 40:20 K:BB over 35.1 innings in 2024 as a member of the Reds bullpen. The pending free agent boasts a career 27.5 percent strikeout rate but also an 11.9 percent walk rate. He'll slot in as a setup man for Boston in front of closer Kenley Jansen.
