Sean Newcomb Designated for Assignment by Boston Red Sox on May 24, 2025

Newcomb's departure leaves a gap in the Red Sox rotation. He had appeared in 11 games this season, starting 5 of them. His record stood at 0-4 with a 3.83 ERA and 41 strikeouts over 40 innings pitched. The team may look to other pitchers like Chris Sale or Garrett Whitlock to fill his spot.

In his last 7 games, Newcomb had an ERA of 2.95 and a K/9 of 9.0. Despite his decent numbers, he did not secure a win during this stretch. The Red Sox will need to adjust their lineup for their next game without him on the roster.
