The Red Sox released Adon on Tuesday.
Adon had coughed up 11 runs with a 12:10 K:BB over 8.1 innings during his time at Triple-A Worcester this season. The right-handed reliever had the look of a potential late-inning relief arm in his younger days, but he turned 30 earlier this month and has yet to reach the majors.

Adon signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Jan. 24.
Adon, 29, was once a highly thought of relief prospect in the Giants organization, but that was several years ago. He spent the bulk of 2023 at Triple-A Sacramento, posting a 7.43 ERA and 50:37 K:BB over 40 innings. Adon will likely begin 2024 at Triple-A Worcester.
