BOSTON, MA – Following today’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, the Boston Red Sox optioned outfielder Jaylin Davis and right-handed pitcher Phillips Valdez to Triple-A Worcester.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

Davis, 27, was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on Thursday and added to the major league roster prior to Friday’s game in Baltimore. After making his Red Sox debut yesterday as a pinch runner, he started in left field today and went 2-for-4.

Valdez, 30, tossed 2.0 relief innings today, allowing four runs on four hits with a strikeout. The right-hander began the season not allowing a run in his first six outings. In eight relief appearances for Boston this season, he owns a 6.10 ERA (7 ER/10.1 IP).
