Tazawa will remain an important late-inning reliever even after the Red Sox reshaped the bullpen over the last month, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.
Since coming off the disabled list, Tazawa has fired four scoreless innings -- most recently, he recorded a key out in Monday night's win when he struck out Nelson Cruz. His ability to pitch against both right-handers and left-handers makes him a useful part of the bullpen, and now he's ready to be used in back-to-back games if needed.
