Red Sox put Joely Rodriguez on IL amid bullpen moves
Rodriguez, 31, is dealing with left shoulder inflammation and his designation is retroactive to Thursday.
Boston also optioned left-hander Ryan Sherriff to Worcester and recalled right-hander Kaleb Ort and lefty Brennan Bernardino from the Triple-A club.
Sherriff, 33, pitched in both games of Saturday’s doubleheader split with the Tampa Bay Rays. He has no decisions and a 2.70 ERA in five relief appearances.
Ort, 31, is 1-0 with a 7.30 ERA in 12 relief appearances (12⅓ innings) with Boston this season.
Bernardino, 31, is 1-0 with a 2.93 ERA in 13 games (15⅓ innings) for the Red Sox in 2023.
