Red Sox's Domingo Tapia: Surfaces in player pool

Tapia was added to the Red Sox's 60-man player pool.

Tapia, who is not on the 40-man roster, spent his first year with the Red Sox in 2019, playing a full season at Triple-A Pawtucket. He was used out of the bullpen 43 times and made one start for the PawSox. The 28-year-old has spent 10 seasons in the minors, never reaching MLB, and has 94 games worth of experience at the Triple-A level. Tapia's role in 2020 will be no different than it was in 2019: an available bullpen arm that may get called up in case of an injury to a member of Boston's bullpen. Even then, there will be several other relievers considered before Tapia.
