Overview

  • The Red Sox traded cash considerations to the Angels for first baseman/outfielder Ryan Noda, who was optioned to Triple-A Worcester.
  • The move follows Triston Casas’s season-ending knee injury, which left Boston searching for first-base depth.
  • Masataka Yoshida was transferred to the 60-day injured list to clear a 40-man roster spot, delaying his return as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery.
  • Yoshida recently resumed throwing drills at Fenway Park but remains unavailable until he is fully healthy both offensively and defensively.
  • Noda, who struggled in Triple-A this season, had a promising rookie campaign in 2023, hitting 16 home runs with a .364 on-base percentage.
