Rivera Placed on Restricted List Amid Personal Matter and Back Injury
The Red Sox move the lefty to the restricted list, but his availability was already limited by a minor league IL stint for back inflammation.
Boston placed left-hander Eduardo Rivera on the restricted list to address a personal matter. Rivera had already been on the Triple-A Worcester seven-day IL since August 13 due to back inflammation, so the move has minimal immediate impact on the big league club. Players on the restricted list do not occupy a 40-man roster spot, giving Boston three openings temporarily. Rivera has made four MLB appearances this season, posting a 6.30 ERA in 10 innings at the major league level.
