The Red Sox activated Moran (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Moran will rejoin the Boston bullpen after a month-long stint on the shelf while he recovered from left elbow inflammation. He looked sharp over a pair of rehab appearances with Triple-A Worcester last week, racking up four strikeouts across three scoreless frames. Moran should settle back into a middle-relief or setup role with Boston after producing a 3.00 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB in 33 innings prior to landing on the IL.

Moran kicked off a rehab assignment Thursday, when he allowed one hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning (17 pitches) for Triple-A Worcester. Relievers on rehab assignments usually don't need much more than one or two appearances, so Moran could return early next week.

Rotowire
Moran will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher Saturday against the Twins, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Moran has been one of Boston's most effective bullpen arms this season, posting a 2.81 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 25.2 innings. He'll likely remain on the mound for an inning or two before Bello takes over.

Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Serving as opener for Boston
Rotowire
Moran will serve as the Red Sox' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game versus the Phillies, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Slotting Moran in as an opener ahead of bulk reliever Brayan Bello last week against the Tigers worked out well, so the Red Sox will give that arrangement another try. The left-handed Moran has managed a 2.91 ERA in 12 appearances for Boston this season, but he's been wild while walking 14 over 21.2 innings.

Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Clinches spot on Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Moran has secured a place on Boston's Opening Day roster, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Moran fared well in limited spring action, as he tossed 2.2 scoreless frames and struck out three in three appearances. The southpaw is out of minor-league options, which may have factored into Boston's decision to name him to the Opening Day roster. Moran pitched in two games a season ago for the Red Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings of relief work.
The Red Sox optioned Moran to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Moran will head back to Worcester as the Red Sox open up a spot in the bullpen for Justin Slaten (shoulder), who was reinstated from the injured list. After being recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday, Moran didn't make any relief appearances during his two-day stint with the big club.

Rotowire

Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Set to be recalled
Rotowire
The Red Sox will recall Moran from Triple-A Worcester prior to Tuesday's game in Baltimore, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
He'll take the roster spot vacated by Richard Fitts (biceps). Moran has made a couple relief appearances with the Red Sox this season, allowing three runs with a 5:3 K:BB over four innings. The lefty has often been used for multiple innings during his outings in the majors and minors this season, so he'll offer the bullpen some length.

Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Gets call to big leagues
Rotowire
The Red Sox selected Moran's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
Moran is back in the big leagues for the first time since 2023, after Tommy John surgery kept him out for the entire 2024 campaign and for the first couple of months of this season. After completing a rehab assignment in the lower rungs of the minors, Moran joined Worcester in late June and provided a 3.44 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 26:3 K:BB in 18.1 innings over 12 appearances to earn a promotion to the big club. Boston will likely deploy the lefty reliever in lower-leverage spots, at least initially.

Rotowire
Moran (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Moran missed all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery but has returned to make six rehab appearances in the lower minors, allowing four runs with a 17:5 K:BB over 7.2 innings. The lefty reliever has a career 29 percent strikeout rate in the majors and should get an opportunity with the Red Sox eventually, but he will need to knock off some rust at Worcester first.

Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Dealt to Boston
Rotowire
The Twins traded Moran (elbow) to the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Mickey Gasper, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Moran missed all of 2024 after undergoing Tommy John surgery last offseason, and there's no telling if he'll be ready for the start of spring training. The 27-year-old reliever owns a 4.15 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 91 innings in his big-league career but will likely begin the season in the minors once he's cleared for game action.
