In a pitching shuffle on Tuesday afternoon, righty starter Richard Fitts, fresh off his eagerly anticipated maiden big-league victory, was optioned to Triple-A.
In return, the Red Sox placed Liam Hendriks (hip irritation) on the 60-day injured list and called up reliever Isaiah Campbell.
The Red Sox have decided to option Fitts in preparation for activating youngster Hunter Dobbins later this week. This roster move gives the Red Sox the opportunity to add a new arm to the bullpen in the interim, since Dobbins is expected to replace Fitts in the rotation, with the next turn not coming until Saturday.
