BOSTON — Right-handed reliever Jorge Alcala, who the Red Sox acquired from the Twins in a trade Wednesday, is here at Fenway Park. He will be available out of the bullpen for Boston’s series opener against the Yankees on Friday.

The Red Sox are 34-36 and down two righty relievers with Liam Hendriks and Justin Slaten on the injured list, so they’ll hope Alcala can find his form and help cover some innings from the right side.

The Red Sox and Twins are getting together on a trade that will send some relief help to Boston. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.
