The Red Sox released Dermody on Friday, Sean McAdam of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Less than a week after being sent outright to Triple-A Worcester, Dermody will now look to latch on with a new organization. The 32-year-old lefty has been struggling heavily as of late, allowing three runs across four innings in his lone MLB start June 8 and 11 runs over 14 innings in his last three minor-league appearances. Dermody was having a decent season in Worcester before slumping, so it's very possible another organization signs him to a minor-league deal.

The Red Sox outrighted Dermody to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

In an effort to afford the other members of the rotation an additional day of rest, the Red Sox summoned Dermody from Worcester to make a spot start in Thursday's series finale in Cleveland. The journeyman southpaw proceeded to throw four innings and gave up three earned runs on four hits and one walk in a losing effort, then was booted off the 40-man roster a day later when the Red Sox reinstated outfielder Adam Duvall from the injured list. As expected, Dermody passed through waivers unclaimed, so he'll stick around in the organization and will presumably settle back into a rotation spot for Worcester.

Dermody (0-1) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over four innings in a 10-3 loss against Cleveland. He struck out one and was designated for assignment after the game, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermody was brought up from Triple-A Worcester to make his first big-league appearance of the year, and it didn't go very smoothly. He was pulled early after allowing two home runs to Jose Ramirez and won't stick around with the big club. Dermody has a 4.50 ERA across 44 innings for Worcester this year and is likely to return to the affiliate, assuming he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Dermody was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Thursday,Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermody drew a spot start Thursday against the Guardians and took the loss after allowing three earned runs across four innings. He's made 30 big-league appearances since 2016, so it's possible that he sees another chance in the majors this season, either with the Red Sox or another organization.

The Red Sox selected Dermody's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermody will make his first major-league start Thursday versus the Guardians after posting a 4.50 ERA and 47:9 K:BB over 44 innings with Worcester. He holds a career 5.60 ERA across 27.1 relief innings in the big leagues.

Dermody will be promoted from Triple-A Worcester ahead of his start Thursday against the Guardians, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermody holds a 5.60 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 27.1 innings in his major-league career, and Thursday will mark his first MLB start. The 32-year-old lefty hasn't been anything special in the minors this season (4.50 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 44 IP), but his 47:9 K:BB is rather impressive.

The Red Sox reassigned Dermody to minor-league camp Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old left-hander had previously seen big-league action in parts of four seasons from 2016 through 2022, logging a 5.60 ERA over 30 career relief appearances. He'll likely open the season at Triple-A Worcester and provide Boston's top minor-league affiliate with experienced depth out of the bullpen.

Dermody agreed Tuesday with the Red Sox on a minor-league deal which includes an invitation to spring training, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermody has made 30 MLB appearances over his career with the Blue Jays and Cubs, respectively. The left-hander spent the end of 2022 with the NC Dinos of he Korea Baseball Organization and registered a 4.54 ERA over 39.2 IP over eight starts with the club. He faces long odds on making the Red Sox roster out of the Grapefruit League.

Dermody confirmed Monday that he will be granted his release from the Cubs to sign with the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization, Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermody was recently promoted to the majors and made a relief appearance during last Thursday's doubleheader with the Cardinals before being optioned back to Triple-A Iowa a day later. He had been serving as a member of Iowa's rotation for much of the season, compiling a 3.74 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 79.1 innings. As a 32-year-old who wasn't likely to get many opportunities down the stretch for a rebuilding team, the Cubs were presumably comfortable with letting Dermody make the jump overseas. His move to Korea creates an opening on the 40-man roster.

The Cubs optioned Dermody to Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dermody was up with the Cubs for just one day, as the left-hander was deployed as the team's 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader with the Cardinals. The 32-year-old appeared out of the bullpen in the Cubs' 7-2 loss in the second game of the twin bill, working one inning and striking out one while allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks. Dermody had been serving in a starting role at Iowa, but his time with the affiliate -- and the Cubs organization -- could soon be coming to an end. Dermody is rumored to be nearing an agreement with the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization, but no contract has been finalized at this time.
