Jorge Alcala News: Booted from 40-man roster

The Red Sox designated Alcala for assignment Tuesday.

Alcala has fanned 46 batters over 40.2 innings this season between the Twins and Red Sox, but he's also walked 23 while posting a 6.64 ERA. Not having minor-league options remaining will hurt him, but it would not be a surprise if another team takes a shot on the hard-throwing reliever.
