Short is out of minor league options, so the Sox didnt have the ability to send him to Worcester without taking him off the 40-man roster. That out-of-options status contributed to him landing in Boston in the first place. The Mets designated Short for a signment two weeks ago. Boston acquired him for cash on May 1.

He allowed only one run in 11 innings with 13 strikeouts and one walk. Jack Kochanowicz Jersey
