Dominican Baseball League
Joan Martinez, Domingo Tapia, and Jhon Nunez are coming back to the Red Sox on minor league deals and have all seen action in the Dominican League this fall. Tapia has struggled to strike guys out, as he has notched just punch out one in six innings. He also three walks and nine hits allowed but has been able to limit the damage to just two runs. Martinez made his debut this past week and tossed a scoreless frame while allowing just one walk. Nunez has had a rough fall so far, going just 2 for 18 with a .292 OBP.

Konner Wade is also back on a minor league contract and has been pitching in the Mexican Pacific League this fall. He has struggled with an ERA of 9.00 and a WHIP of 2.20 in 15 innings, but he has struck out 12 while allowing just four walks.
