Red Sox claim Fox from Twins
The Red Sox have claimed right-handed pitcher Matt Fox off waivers from the Minnesota Twins. To make room for Fox the team moved outfielder Mike Cameron to the 60-day disabled list.
Fox, 27, made his major league debut Friday against the Texas Rangers, going 5.2 innings while allowing 2 runs on 4 hits in a no-decision. Originally a supplemental first round selection of the Twins back in 2004, he has gone 35-28 with a 3.71 ERA in six minor league seasons. He has shown very good control in his career, accumulating over a 2:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Fox will likely see time as a member of the Boston bullpen.
