The thought was that he didn’t make much sense as a veteran addition to a team that had rookie Marcelo Mayer, Caleb Durbin, Nate Eaton, and an...8923Sat, 16 May 2026 12:09:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/talk-sox/red-sox-daily-minor-league-report-enddy-azocar-knocks-on-the-door-to-portland-r8903/Boston Red Sox Affiliate Recap (May 14) Triple-A Worcester Red Sox The WooSox offense could not get anything going and somehow came up just short, losing 4-3 to the Buffalo Bisons.

Despite having Tommy John surgery in June of 2024 and expected to miss all of 2025, the Blue Jays still took a flier on the right-hander.
