The Red Sox need to make key roster decisions as they approach minor league free agency. Outfield prospect Allan Castro showcased his power in September at Triple-A Worcester, finishing with a.300 batting average and six home runs in seven games. With the Rule 5 Draft looming and limited roster flexibility, including only three pending free agents, the team must consider potentially adding Castro to their 40-man roster. Additionally, reliever Zack Kelly sustained a stress fracture, complicating the team's pitching depth.
- •Allan Castro performed well in September with six home runs.
