The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
After being recalled from Triple-A last Wednesday, Gamboa made two appearances out of the Red Sox bullpen, giving up two earned runs in 3.1 innings. He'll head back to the minors to clear room on the active roster for left-hander Patrick Sandoval (biceps), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and is expected to join the rotation later this week.

Rotowire
Gamboa (elbow) recorded two outs via strikeout and allowed one earned run on three hits in his relief appearance Friday in the Red Sox's 2-0 win over the Rays.
Gamboa made just his second appearance of the Grapefruit League and his first since Feb. 28 after he was briefly shut down due to a left elbow issue. The injury prevented Gamboa from staking a claim to a spot in the Opening Day bullpen, as the Red Sox reassigned him to minor-league camp Saturday.
