News
	Triston McKenzie has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Diego Padres. David Leisering Sat, Mar 21st	The Red Sox optioned Tyler Samaniego to Triple-A. Ari Koslow Thu, Jun 4th
	McKenzie carries a 5.46 ERA across 24 big-league appearances (20 starts) since 2023 into Padres camp as a non-roster invitee, but his arm has shown something new this spring. He gained weight over the offseason and pitched in winter ball for the first time, and his four-seamer is averaging 95.7 mph — up two full mph from last season. McKenzie has never touched 97 mph in a major-league game, but he topped that mark 10 times in his most recent Cactus League outing and peaked at 98.8 mph. He admitted having "no idea" where the extra velocity is coming from. Bruno Mulé Fri, Mar 13th	Tyler Samaniego will open for the Red Sox on Friday against the Guardians. Ari Koslow Fri, May 29th
		The Red Sox recalled Tyler Samaniego from Triple-A. Ari Koslow Thu, May 28th
