Alfredo Aceves P BOS
1 Month Boston Red Sox Comment

Alfredo Aceves will be given another start in place of John Lackey.

Aceves allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four on Thursday against the Orioles in his first outing in Lackey's place. He only went five innings and isn't totally stretched out yet, but Aceves has always had an arm that could handle bouncing back and forth between roles. Lackey expects to be ready after missing two starts, at which point Aceves will head back to the bullpen.

Alfredo Aceves will start Thursday against the Orioles.

This means that John Lackey (bicep) has officially been scratched, though the Red Sox have yet to make a decision about a possible stint on the disabled list. Felix Doubront was originally scheduled to start Thursday, but he has been pushed back now that Aceves will get the ball.

Alfredo Aceves pitched five scoreless innings and struck out five against the Blue Jays on Friday.

The Jays had seven regulars playing today, making Aceves' showing quite impressive. That Aceves is still starting games could be taken as an indication that the Red Sox are hoping to move him; they don't have room in the rotation for him unless someone gets hurt.

Alfredo Aceves yielded two runs in 4 1/3 innings Saturday in a victory over the Rays.

Back from the World Baseball Classic, Aceves drew a start today. He wasn't involved in any brawls this time around, though he nearly sparked one by plunking Sean Rodriguez and exchanging words with him down the first base line. One wonders just how much more patience the Red Sox are going to show with the right-hander. If someone is interested in taking him off their hands, they probably wouldn't ask for much in return.

The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo believes "there's a chance" the Red Sox could trade Alfredo Aceves.

Cafardo noted that there have been lots of scouts watching Red Sox relievers the last few days, and he thinks it's Aceves that might be on the block. The righty will make a pretty reasonable $2.65 million this season and has another year of arbitration eligibility, but Boston has grown tired of his antics at this point and wouldn't mind turning the page. He could potentially start for another team if he's moved.

The Red Sox have received word that Alfredo Aceves escaped Team Mexico's scrap with Team Canada without any serious injuries.

It's an unfortunately necessary confirmation for the club after Aceves and his devilish eyes were at the center of the dust up between the two teams in Saturday's WBC action. The 30-year-old reliever saved 25 games for the Red Sox last season but struggled to the tune of a 5.36 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. With Team Mexico's elimination, Aceves will now return to Red Sox camp and will serve as middle relief depth in 2013.

Alfredo Aceves said the incident Sunday where he refused to throw at full strength during a live batting practice session was "just miscommunication."

"It was just miscommunication. That's all it was," Aceves said. "I apologized for that and now we're on track." Red Sox manager John Farrell said Aceves "had a very good day" Wednesday and was "focused." Rumors had surfaced that Boston was growing tired of Aceves' antics and considering releasing him, but it appears all is well for now.
