Lucas Sims allowed one walk over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Seattle.Sims replaced starter Brayan Bello with one out in the seventh inning and runners at the corners. He sandwiched a walk around a short flyout and a groundout to get out of the inning. It was Sims' debut for the Boston Red Sox, who acquired him ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Boston's bullpen has been the primary culprit of the team's 3-8 start coming out of the All-Star break, and Sims is expected to help. He'll be used in high-leverage spots ahead of closer Kenley Jansen, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports. The high-leverage crew will be bolstered by the eventual returns of Chris Martin (elbow) and Justin Slaten (elbow).

Reds' Lucas Sims: Working on splitter
Like teammate Hunter Greene, as well as a good portion of other pitchers in baseball, Lucas Sims is working on a splitter this spring, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Sims wants to have a better third pitch to use against lefties, as he hasn't been happy with his results when using a changeup. The Cincinnati Reds should have a deeper bullpen this season, which might limit the chances for Sims to record saves or holds; however, that might also allow him to be stronger on a per-outing basis.
