Faria was released by the Red Sox on Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Red Sox's Jake Faria: Rocky debut in mop-up outing
Rotowire
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.

Red Sox's Jake Faria: Joining big-league club
Rotowire
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.

Red Sox's Jake Faria: Cast off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Red Sox designated Faria for assignment Monday.
Faria didn't have any minor-league options remaining, so Boston had to remove him from the 40-man roster entirely to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Brayan Bello (forearm), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Angels. After getting called up from Worcester on Sunday, Faria went unused out of the bullpen in Boston's 2-1 win over the Angels.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: DFA'd Sunday
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks designated Faria for assignment on Sunday.
The righty has allowed multiple runs in two of his last three appearances and now has a 5.51 ERA in 32.2 total innings with Arizona this season. Faria hasn't enjoyed much success since 2017, so he's unlikely to draw a ton of interest on waivers over the next couple days.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: Works out of bullpen
Rotowire
Faria scattered two hits and struck out one over a scoreless inning of relief Friday in the Diamondbacks' 5-1 loss to the Cubs.
Faria had posted a 4.85 ERA across 13 innings while starting in his final three appearances before the All-Star break, but he looks like he'll be the odd man out of the rotation with Arizona bringing back Madison Bumgarner and Zac Gallen from the injured list to begin the second half of the season. Expect most of Faria's opportunities out of the bullpen to come in lower-leverage spots.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: Strong in no-decision
Rotowire
Faria did not factor into the decision during Thursday's loss to the Rockies. He allowed two runs on five hits and a pair of walks while striking out four across five innings.
It was the longest and strongest outing of the season for Faria, who 55 of 86 pitches for strikes. Despite the improved effort, the Diamondbacks have unfortunately lost all six of their contests with Faria on the mound, rendering a weak security in the rotation for the right-hander. Across six appearances (three starts), Faria has compiled a 4.76 ERA and 1.35 WHIP.
