BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today reinstated left-handed pitcher Matt Strahm from the 15-Day Injured List. To make room for Strahm on the active roster, the club optioned right-handed pitcher Josh Winckowski to Triple-A Worcester following last night’s game.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

Strahm, 30, was placed on the 15-Day Injured list on July 15 (retroactive to July 13) due to a left wrist contusion. The left-hander made one rehab appearance for Worcester, striking out one batter in a scoreless relief inning on Tuesday against Rochester. Strahm is 3-3 with three saves and a 3.58 ERA (11 ER/27.2 IP) in 33 appearances for Boston this season.

Winckowski, 24, started last night’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, receiving the loss after allowing six runs in 5.0 innings. The right-hander is 5-6 with a 5.19 ERA (35 ER/60.2 IP) in 12 starts this season, the first of his Major League career. Winckowski is only the third Red Sox rookie pitcher to make at least 10 starts in a season since 2016, joining Tanner Houck (13 in 2021) and Brian Johnson (13 in 2018).
