Red Sox's James Norwood: Shipped to Boston

Norwood was traded from the Phillies to the Red Sox in exchange for cash considerations Saturday.

Norwood was designated for assignment Monday after struggling to an 8.31 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 17.1 innings of relief. His 25.9 percent strikeout rate was solidly above-average, giving him hope to eventually carve out at least a low-leverage role for the Red Sox.
