The Boston Red Sox bullpen is getting a fresh look after a taxing night in Minnesota. Following a start from Garrett Crochet that lasted just five outs and required 6 ⅓ innings of relief, the club has shuffled its pitching staff ahead of Tuesday's game against the Twins.

In a move to secure a fresh arm capable of eating multiple innings, the Red Sox have called up right-hander Jack Anderson for his first major league opportunity. To make room, rookie lefty Tyler Samaniego has been optioned to Triple-A Worcester. In a corresponding 40-man roster move, the team transferred injured pitcher Johan Oviedo to the 60-day injured list.

Anderson, a 26-year-old former Rule 5 pick, provides immediate flexibility. Having last pitched on Tuesday for Worcester, he's fully available and built up to provide length, a critical need after Monday's bullpen drain. Manager Alex Cora highlighted Anderson as a strike-thrower with a good fastball, emphasizing the move is about "taking care of the bullpen, which is the most important thing right now."

The decision comes at the expense of Samaniego, who was impressive in his brief debut. The left-hander, acquired from Pittsburgh this offseason, tossed 3 ⅔ scoreless innings across three appearances, including two frames in Monday's relief effort. His demotion is less about performance and more a result of roster mechanics, with other relievers having contractual protections that limit Boston's flexibility.

Adding to the team's challenges, star first baseman Triston Casas has been moved to the 60-day injured list, a significant blow to the heart of the Red Sox lineup as they navigate a tough early-season schedule.
