Back with Boston on minors deal The Red Sox signed Kahnle to a minor-league contract Monday.

Impact Kahnle was DFA'd by Boston earlier this month and elected free agency July 6. After shopping around on the market, Kahnle has returned to the Red Sox on a minor-league pact and will join Triple-A Worcester. The 36-year-old pitched in eight games out of the bullpen for Boston last month and allowed eight runs on 12 hits and six walks with five strikeouts across nine innings.

Elects free agency Kahnle has elected to enter free agency after clearing waivers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Kahnle was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday. He cleared waivers and was set to be outrighted to Triple-A Worcester, but the veteran right-hander has opted to the test the waters in free agency. He's allowed eight runs on 12 hits and six walks while striking out five across nine innings (eight appearances) this season, but Kahnle should still draw interest from a team looking to add a veteran right-hander to its bullpen.

Removed from 40-man roster The Red Sox designated Kahnle for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com relayed after Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Nationals that Kahnle would be DFA'd, and the move has now been made officially after Boston acquired infielder Brett Harris in a trade to take the reliever's spot on the 40-man roster. After signing a minor-league deal with Boston late in spring training, Kahnle moved up to the big leagues on June 4 and turned in an 8.00 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 5:6 K:BB across nine innings over eight appearances out of the bullpen.

Alec Gamboa is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday to claim the vacant bullpen spot.

The veteran reliever has collected a 1.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB in 19.1 innings at Worcester and will fill a middle relief role in Boston.

Preparing to opt out of deal Kahnle is expected to opt out of his minor-league deal with the Red Sox on Monday if he isn't added to the major-league roster, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact After signing late in spring training with Boston, Kahnle stayed behind at the Red Sox's complex in Florida to begin the minor-league season before reporting to Triple-A Worcester in the second week of April. He's been excellent thus far for the Triple-A club, posting a 1.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB in 19.1 innings. If the Red Sox aren't able to find a spot on the roster for the 36-year-old righty, he shouldn't have too much trouble securing a major-league deal in free agency in light of his strong start to the season.
