Thu, 16 May 2013 15:13:39 -0700 Boston Red Sox SP Felix Doubront worked with pitching coach Juan Nieves to adjust the stride in his delivery in order to generate more velocity and improve the command of his pitches. Doubront has given up 12 runs in nine innings in his last two outings, and he's pitching to keep his spot in the rotation right now. SPs Allen Webster and Franklin Morales (pectoral) could take his spot if he continues to struggle. Fantasy Tip: Doubront must have a better outing tonight in order for the Red Sox to consider keeping him in the rotation over Morales or Webster. Morales is probably the better bet to take the rotation spot since the team is adamant on keeping him stretched out as a starter. Keep Morales in mind in your AL-only leagues.
Thu, 09 May 2013 11:16:51 -0700 The Boston Red Sox optioned SP Allen Webster to the minors Wednesday, May 8, and recalled RP Jose De La Torre in a corresponding move. Fantasy Tip: Webster had a nightmare outing against the Seattle Mariners last night, allowing eight earned runs (two homers) while walking three and striking out two in just 1 2/3 frames. That wasn't the outing Boston was looking for in order to convince them to keep him in the rotation. Expect Felix Doubront to re-enter the rotation next week.
Tue, 07 May 2013 16:19:32 -0700 Boston Red Sox SP Allen Webster could remain with the team for a while depending on how long the bullpen remains depleted and how well he pitches. He tossed six scoreless innings with Triple-A Pawtucket last Friday and struck out nine hitters. SP Felix Doubront, who was moved to the bullpen temporarily, allowed 12 hits and six runs in 3 2/3 innings in his last outing and had decreased velocity. Doubront has walked 13 hitters in 18 1/3 innings in his previous three starts. Webster has struck out 26 hitters in 20 innings with Pawtucket, and scouts are saying that he has the best stuff of any pitcher in camp. If he pitches well Wednesday, May 8, he may be in line for an extended stay in the rotation. Fantasy Tip: Thanks to Doubront's struggles, Webster may control his own destiny for an extended rotation stay. As a result, deep mixed leaguers should consider putting him on their roster. He warrants ownership in most AL-only leagues, too, for his upside.
Tue, 07 May 2013 13:34:55 -0700 Boston Red Sox SP Allen Webster will be making a spot start Wednesday, May 8, and SP Felix Doubront will go back into the rotation for his subsequent start, according to manager John Farrell.
Tue, 07 May 2013 13:23:18 -0700 The Boston Red Sox placed RP Joel Hanrahan (forearm) on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain Tuesday, May 7, and recalled SP Allen Webster from Triple-A Pawtucket in a corresponding move. Webster will make the start Wednesday, May 8, and SP Felix Doubront will move to the bullpen starting Tuesday. Fantasy Tip: It's probably safe now to drop Hanrahan in mixed leagues since Andrew Bailey (biceps) is expected to return from the DL before him. Hanrahan lost his opportunity to work his way back into the closer's role, and now Junichi Tazawa is closing out games. Webster could be valuable in AL leagues depending on how long he'll stick in the rotation.
Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:51:19 -0700 Boston Red Sox SP Allen Webster allowed three runs - two earned - and five hits over six innings in his major league debut against the Kansas City Royals in the second game of a doubleheader Sunday, April 21. He also struck out five batters in the quality start.
Sun, 21 Apr 2013 11:01:32 -0700 The Boston Red Sox have called up SP Allen Webster from Triple-A Pawtucket. He is scheduled to make his major league debut in the second game of a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals Sunday, April 21.
Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:58:05 -0700 The Boston Red Sox optioned Ps Rubby De La Rosa and Allen Webster to Triple-A Pawtucket Friday, March 15.
Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:38:18 -0800 Boston Red Sox SP Allen Webster struck out four consecutive hitters against the Toronto Blue Jays Monday, Feb. 25, and he hit 99 mph with his four-seam fastball. However, he's likely to start the year in Triple-A Pawtucket's rotation.
Sat, 22 Dec 2012 11:17:51 -0800 The Boston Red Sox are not expected to offer SS Xander Bogaerts, OF Jackie Bradley, SP Allen Webster or SP Rubby De La Rosa to the Pittsburgh Pirates in a deal for RP Joel Hanrahan.
