The Boston Red Sox designated reliever Tommy Kahnle for assignment following a poor performance in Tuesday's 9-1 loss to the Nationals. Kahnle's struggles continued as he allowed four earned runs in one inning, bringing his ERA to 8.00. He is expected to be waived, traded, or released soon due to being out of minor league options. The team is also calling up lefty Alec Gamboa to bolster the bullpen ahead of Wednesday's game against Washington. Additionally, Boston is finalizing a trade for corner infielder Brett Harris from the Athletics, clearing a roster spot with Kahnle's departure. The Red Sox await updates on Connelly Early's elbow injury, which may affect future roster decisions.
