Boston Red Sox reliever Steven Wright was removed from the team's American League Division Series roster after being diagnosed with inflammation and a loose body in his left knee http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-don-mattingly-jersey , the team announced Saturday.Fellow right-handed reliever Heath Hembree took Wright's place on the roster. Per Major League Baseball rules, Wright will not be eligible to pitch in the American League Championship Series should Boston advance. He would, however, be permitted to be added back to the roster for the World Series.Wright did not pitch in Boston's 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS on Friday. After Chris Sale held the Yankees to two runs on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings, the Red Sox used five more pitchers鈥攊ncluding potential Game 3 starter Rick Porcello鈥攖o close out the win.The Boston bullpen was shaky, meaning manager Alex Cora may need as many healthy arms as possible to try to piece together wins. After Wright underwent an MRI on Friday Aroldis Chapman Jersey , the Red Sox decided to make a move.He made 20 appearances, including four starts, during the regular season. The knuckleballer posted a 3-1 record with a 2.68 ERA and 1.25 WHIP, notching three holds and one save as well.He was limited to just five games last year after undergoingknee surgeryin May 2017. That came just one year after he was selected to his first American League All-Star team.Hembree made 67 appearances during the regular season, going 4-1 with 20 holds. He also recorded a 4.20 ERA and 1.33 WHIP while striking out 76 hitters in 60 innings. The 29-year-old reliever had a 5.03 ERA in 26 second-half outings, allowing five home runs in 19.2 innings.Hembree has never made a postseason appearance in his six-year career. Mike Moustakas' time in Kansas City has come to an end just days before Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline. The Milwaukee Brewers announced Saturdaythat they have acquired the 29-year-old from the Royals in exchange for minor leaguers Brett Phillips and Jorge Lopez.Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com first reported the news.Moustakas had been a member of the Kansas City organization since the Royals took him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2007 MLB draft. He leaves town having piled up a .251 batting average Didi Gregorius Jersey , 139 home runsand 441RBI in 934 games in his seven-plus seasons with the Royals andrankingeighthin franchise history in long balls.When it drafted Moustakas, Kansas City was trying to break a playoff drought that had lasted more than two decades. It took some time, but the core of Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain eventually snapped it in 2014. One year later, they helped raise the club's second World Series banner.Unfortunately for Royals fans http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-greg-bird-jersey , the core became too expensive to keep. Cain and Hosmer left in free agency during the offseason, while Moustakas eventually returned after having a tough time on the open market. He turned down a $17.4 million qualifying offer at the beginning of the offseason, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com, and wound up signing a one-year, $6.5 million deal with a mutual option for 2019.Moustakas will now change uniforms for the first time in his career and have the opportunity to jump right into a pennant race. With six home runs in 31 career postseason games, he has proved he can come through in big moments.Milwaukee boldly boosted its outfield during the offseason by acquiring Christian Yelich and Cain. While those moves helped establish the Brewers as contenders Dellin Betances Jersey , they find themselves in a battle in the National League Central.They hope adding an All-Star and a champion like Moustakas can put them over the top.Travis Shaw (19home runs) has provided pop at the hot corner, but Moustakas is a more established player. The Brewers can shift Shaw to second to give themselves one of the most powerful infields in baseball, with Moustakas and first baseman Jesus Aguilar (25 home runs) also bringing the lumber. They could use Shaw at first and in the outfield as well.Milwaukee was in the Manny Machado sweepstakes before the Baltimore Orioles shipped the All-Star to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Although Machado was the prize of the deadline, Moustakas can be a game-changer as well.
