The Rays reassigned Westbrook to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old saw his first big-league action in 2024 with the Red Sox, but after producing a lowly .584 OPS over his 47 plate appearances, he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in August. Westbrook became a free agent in the offseason and joined the Rays on a minor-league deal that included an invitation to big-league camp, but he faced long odds to win a spot on the Opening Day roster. He'll likely report to Triple-A Durham to begin the season and should serve in a utility role.

The Red Sox designated Westbrook for assignment Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrook is the 40-man roster casualty with the Red Sox needing to clear some space in advance of Monday's game against the Rangers. The 29-year-old utility player went just 6-for-40 at the plate during his time with the Red Sox before being sent back to Triple-A Worcester on July 31.

The Red Sox optioned Westbrook to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrook saw regular reps at second base against left-handed pitching but did little with them, going just 2-for-22 at the plate this month. Nick Sogard was called up from Triple-A Worcester and will replace Westbrook on the 26-man active roster as the short-side platoon mate for David Hamilton at the keystone.

Westbrook is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrook had occupied the keystone in seven of the Red Sox's last eight games, but his surge in playing time was mostly fueled by Boston facing a schedule that was heavy on left-handed pitching. The 29-year-old still looks to be stuck in the short side of a platoon at second base with David Hamilton, who will cover the position Monday while the Mariners send right-hander Logan Gilbert to the bump.

Westbrook will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game versus the Rockies, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrook will take Enmanuel Valdez's place on the Red Sox's active roster and is expected to provide the team with additional infield depth .The 29-year-old had his first-career MLB stint in June and went 4-for-18 with a homer and a double across 11 games.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old Westbrook went 4-for-18 with a home run while appearing in 11 games during his first-ever stint in the big leagues. He'll cede his spot on the Red Sox bench to infielder Romy Gonzalez (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Westbrook went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrook didn't start the contest, but he pinch hit for Tyler O'Neill in the seventh inning. That was when Westbrook hit his first major-league homer, a solo shot off reliever Jared Shuster. Over four contests, Westbrook is 2-for-5 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. He is likely to remain in a short-side platoon role in the Boston infield until the team gets some injured players back.
