Alexander’s second post: “The Red Sox are calling up Puerto Rican LHP Eduardo Rivera Dominant in Double-A this season, but hasn’t pitched above that level.”
MLB Social Media Reacts To Red Sox Roster Move
GettyPitcher Jack Anderson #77 of the Boston Red Sox shouts out after getting a strike out with the bases loaded to end the sixth inning against the New York Yankees at Fenway Park on April 21, 2026 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
Tommy Cassell: “The one thing about this move is the Red Sox now need to make a spot on the 40-man roster for Eduardo Rivera. My guess would be they put Triston Casas on the 60-day IL — but we will probably find that out later today.”
@JakeIggy: “Eduardo Rivera has only made two starts this season in AA but was very effective 0.90 ERA, 6 H, 1 ER, 16 K in 10 IP”
@Hunter_Noll: “Crazy last few months for Eduardo Rivera. Had some big moments in the WBC for Puerto Rico, cooked in Double-A, now in the Majors.”
@ChrisHenrique: “What a day for Eduardo Rivera. He was expected to pitch on Thursday, piggybacking off WooSox starter Alec Gamboa. He’s now headed to Boston. Tolle continues to play the waiting game.”
@coL_Fantasy: “This Eduardo Rivera call-up is EXACTLY what I’ve been saying for 2 years now. Front Office and Player Dev seems to have 0 plan for the future. They just seem to wing it at every turn. No long-term plan, no short-term plans, no thought out backup plans. Stumbling thru everything.”
