Kevin McCarthy: Released by Red Sox

McCarthy was released by the Red Sox on Saturday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

McCarthy failed to secure a spot on Boston's Opening Day roster in 2021, and he struggled at Triple-A Worcester to begin the season. The right-hander posted a 7.39 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in 35.1 innings across 28 appearances (two starts) and will now hit free agency.
