Puello, 29, is in his first season in the Red Sox organization after being signed as a minor league free agent in February. The right-handed hitter split the 2019 season between the Angels and Marlins organizations, batting .248 (31-for-125) with a .356 on-base percentage and four home runs in 44 major league games.
