Boston Red Sox agree to 1-year deal with RHP Michael Wacha

Right-hander Michael Wacha has agreed to a one-year deal with the  Boston Red Sox, the team announced Saturday.

Wacha, 30, was solid in a starting role for the Tampa Bay Rays last season and is expected to add depth to the Red Sox's rotation.

Boston lost lefty starter Eduardo Rodriguez this offseason after he agreed to a five-year deal with the Detroit Tigers.

Wacha went 3-5 with a 5.05 ERA across 124⅔ innings in 2021.
