  • Red Sox's Kyle Kendrick: Removed from 40-man roster

    The Red Sox outrighted Kendrick from the 40-man roster Thursday, though he remains with Triple-A Pawtucket, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.

    The right-hander will continue serving as organizational depth, but when the Red Sox need Kendrick next, they'll have to make a roster move to clear a space for him.

  • Red Sox's Kyle Kendrick: Sent back to minors

    Kendrick was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket after Wednesday's loss to the Brewers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    While it appeared Kendrick was in line to replace injured Steven Wright (knee) in the rotation for the foreseeable future, two rough outings have earned him a ticket back to the minors. The 32-year-old allowed 12 runs through two starts (8.2 innings) with a 3:3 K:BB before being sent back to Pawtucket. He'll be replaced by Robbie Ross on the roster, while the Red Sox will wait to announce a rotation replacement as they don't need a fifth starter until May 20.

  • Red Sox's Kyle Kendrick: In rotation for foreseeable future

    Kendrick will remain in Boston' starting rotation for the foreseeable future, Julian Benbow of The Boston Globe reports.

    With Steven Wright (knee) set to have surgery and miss the rest of the season, Kendrick will take Wright's turn in the rotation, presumably until David Price (elbow) is ready to return. Kendrick's first spin Thursday didn't go so well. The Orioles flirted with scoring in the early innings before busting out in a fourth inning that included another slow trot around the bags by Manny Machado after a mammoth three-run home run. Kendrick finished with six runs allowed on eight hits and two walks while striking out one. With a day off coming Monday, the Red Sox could delay Kendrick's next start until May 13.

  • Red Sox's Kyle Kendrick: Officially added to roster

    Kendrick had his contract purchased from Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.

    As expected, the veteran hurler will head up to the big leagues to toe the rubber Thursday in place of injured knuckleballer Steven Wright (knee). It seems like Kendrick will stick with the Red Sox rotation for a few more starts after Thursday's outing, but more should become clear as Wright progresses in his injury rehab. To make room on the roster, Marco Hernandez (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day DL and Tyler Thornburg (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day DL.

  • Red Sox's Kyle Kendrick: Likely in rotation for a while

    Kendrick's impending addition to the roster suggests he'll be around for a while, Jen McCaffrey of MassLive.com reports. He is scheduled to start in place of the injured Steven Wright (knee) on Thursday.

    Since Kendrick is on a minor-league deal, he cannot be sent back to Triple-A Pawtucket once added to the major-league roster without being designated for assignment and subjected to the waiver process. He would likely get claimed by another team. The Red Sox don't want to waste Kendrick for a one-start fill-in assignment -- the organization has other options already on the 40-man roster if it felt Wright would miss a single start -- so expect multiple starts for Kendrick.

  • Red Sox's Kyle Kendrick: Tabbed as Thursday's starter

    Kendrick will be added to the 40-man roster and start Thursday's game against the Orioles, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports.

    With Thursday's scheduled starter Steven Wright being placed on the disabled list Monday with a sprained left knee, the Red Sox will call upon Kendrick to make his first big-league appearance since 2015 with the Colorado Rockies. The 32-year-old has posted a 6.00 ERA and 20:5 K:BB ratio over 27 innings with Triple-A Pawtucket this season, but will get to face a Blue Jays team that has hit just .228 against right-handed pitching early in the season.

  • Red Sox's Kyle Kendrick: Rocked in Triple-A debut

    Kendrick allowed 10 runs (nine earned) on 10 hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings for Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.

    Kendrick was hit hard by Syracuse and stayed out to take the beating because the PawSox extended their bullpen in a doubleheader Sunday. It's unlikely the Red Sox have altered their opinion of Kendrick, who excelled in spring training with a 2.18 ERA over 33 innings. He still sits atop the pile of minor-league depth starters.
