The Boston Red Sox have made significant roster moves, including the call-up of 31-year-old rookie left-hander Cam Booser for his MLB debut. Booser, who previously walked away from baseball in 2017 to become a carpenter, has returned to the sport, showcasing a fastball that reaches 99 mph. His journey back to baseball included a stint with the independent Chicago Dogs in 2021, managed by Butch Hobson. To accommodate Booser on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated LHP Joe Jacques for assignment and Booser will wear jersey number 71. Additionally, the team acquired right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez from the Milwaukee Brewers for cash considerations. In his debut, Booser gave up a lead-off triple but recovered to strike out Andrew McCutcheon for his first MLB strikeout.
