The Red Sox optioned Buttrey to Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Buttrey was one of four pitchers on the 40-man roster that Boston sent back to minor-league camp. The right-hander wasn't a serious candidate for a bullpen job with the Red Sox after accruing a 4.81 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 63.2 innings between Double-A Portland and Pawtucket last season.

Buttrey was added to the Red Sox's 40-man roster Monday, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old righty took a step forward last season, showing enough in 40 appearances between Double- and Triple-A to warrant Rule 5 roster protection. While the results weren't great after he was promoted to Pawtucket (7.64 ERA in 10 appearances), Buttrey averaged a strikeout per inning with the top affiliate (10.5 K/9 overall), flashing an improved changeup to complement his high-90s fastball. He figures to make his big-league debut in 2018.

Buttrey was promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket, Jen McCaffrey of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buttrey is in his first full season as a reliever and had some success as a multi-inning reliever at Double-A Portland. The right-hander departed the Sea Dogs with a 3.28 ERA, 37 strikeouts and 10 walks over 24.2 spanning 15 appearances.
