Boston's AL East rival gives Jamie Westbrook an invitation to spring training and a chance to impress the Rays.

Jamie Westbrook may have only earned a non-roster invitation to the Tampa Bay Rays' spring training camp earlier this week, but he hit a double and made some impressive plays at second base against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday.

Despite the 1 for 4 official stat line, Mayer did plenty of heavy lifting at the plate. He drove home an RBI drew a walk and hit a rope to the gap in left-center that likely would have dropped in for a base hit nine out of 10 times. Unfortunately for Mayer, Rays center fielder Chandler Simpson made a beautiful diving catch to rob Mayer.

Acuña was hit by a pitch in New York's game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, and was forced to exit the game. On Sunday, Mendoza announced an injury update on the 22-year-old infielder.

Westbrook slashed .267/.364/.436 in 49 games for the Worcester Red Sox with five home runs and 25 RBI before he was called up to the majors for the first time. The Massachusetts native made his MLB debut with the Red Sox after 11 minor league seasons with five different organizations.

The Boston Red Sox are gearing up for the 2025 campaign, but they aren't done adding to their roster just yet. After they reunited with one of their former relief pitchers, Adam Ottavino, on a minor league deal earlier this week, the Red Sox brought another veteran relief pitcher to town on Thursday in Matt Moore.

The Yankees spent millions upgrading their spring training facility in Tampa, creating amenities for the players at Steinbrenner Field that appear to be better suited for a luxury hotel than a baseball stadium.

Matt Moore is a decade removed from being an All-Star SP for the Rays, but the veteran has shown enough flashes as a RP that the Red Sox took a flier on him.
