White Sox's Cam Booser: Changing Sox with move to Chicago
Rotowire
Booser was traded from the Red Sox to the White Sox on Saturday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Yhoiker Fajardo, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
It appeared that Booser could end up being a career minor leaguer until he reached the majors for the first time as a 31-year-old last year with Boston. The lefty reliever fared pretty well with the Red Sox, compiling a 3.38 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 43:16 K:BB over 42.2 innings while picking up two wins, one save (along with two blown saves) and five holds. Booser bounced between the minors and majors throughout the campaign and also spent time on the injured list in August and September due to an elbow injury, but he could open the 2025 campaign in the big-league bullpen with his new club. Chicago's relief corps ranked last in the majors in blown saves and walks last season while posting a 4.74 ERA, third worst among big-league clubs.

Booser (elbow) struck out a batter and gave up one hit in a scoreless inning in his rehab appearance Saturday with Double-A Portland.
Booser began his rehab assignment Aug. 29 with Triple-A Worcester, but he took a one-week break before making his return to game action this weekend, albeit at a different affiliate. The left-hander looked sharp Saturday and may require just one or two more appearances in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list.

Red Sox's Cam Booser: Goes on IL with elbow injury
Rotowire
The Red Sox placed Booser on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left elbow inflammation, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Booser failed to retire any of the three batters he faced in Tuesday's win over the Rangers, but it appears his elbow might have been bothering him in the outing. It's not clear at this point how much time he might miss. Brennan Bernardino was called up from Triple-A Worcester to replace Booser in the bullpen.

Red Sox's Cam Booser: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Red Sox optioned Booser to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Chris Henrique of Beyond the Monster reports.
This transaction looks to be entirely due to Booser having minor-league options available and having pitched each of the last three days, as he likely wasn't going to be available for at least a day or two. Booser should be back with the big club soon.
