Faria was released by the Red Sox on Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports. Faria has allowed five earned runs in just two innings of work this season at the major-league level and was sporting an ugly 6.38 ERA in 60.2 innings at Triple-A Worcester. He inked a minor-league contract with Boston in February and will now head back to the open market.

Boston outrighted Faria to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday after he cleared waivers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. The veteran right-hander will remain in the organization after he was recently added to the 40-man roster and then designated for assignment just over 24 hours following his promotion from Worcester. Faria made his lone appearance out of the Boston bullpen in Sunday's win over the Cubs, covering two innings and allowing five earned runs on four hits and four walks.

Faria was designated for assignment Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports. Faria was torched for five runs in two relief innings in his lone appearance with the Red Sox. He's clearing out to make room for Richard Bleier's return.

Faria allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over two innings in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Cubs. Faria, who had his contract selected Sunday, made his debut in a Red Sox uniform. Boston manager Alex Cora told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com that the right-hander's role will be to go multiple innings. His debut came in a mop-up situation, with the Red Sox up 11-0 entering the eighth inning. It didn't go very well for Faria, who walked the first four batters and threw fewer than half of his pitches for strikes. With a couple of bullpen starts expected Monday and Tuesday, Faria's job was to get the Red Sox out of Dodge without having to expend either Nick Pivetta or Chris Murphy, both of whom are expected to throw multiple innings the next two days.

The Red Sox will select Faria's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. Tayler Scott was designated for assignment, and Faria will join the team to provide a fresh arm, three months to the day after he was selected for his first stint with the Red Sox. He didn't end up making an appearance the first time around, spending just a single day on the 40-man roster, and Faria's numbers at Triple-A this season (6.63 ERA, 1.67 WHIP) suggest he will have a difficult time sticking around for the long haul.
