Working as opener Tuesday Moran will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Moran will presumably work the first inning or so before making way for Brayan Bello, who is expected to serve as the team's bulk reliever Tuesday. Moran is off to a strong start to the 2026 season and has delivered a 2.33 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 17 strikeouts across 19.1 innings.

Clinches spot on Opening Day roster Moran has secured a place on Boston's Opening Day roster, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Impact Moran fared well in limited spring action, as he tossed 2.2 scoreless frames and struck out three in three appearances. The southpaw is out of minor-league options, which may have factored into Boston's decision to name him to the Opening Day roster. Moran pitched in two games a season ago for the Red Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings of relief work.

Set to be recalled The Red Sox will recall Moran from Triple-A Worcester prior to Tuesday's game in Baltimore, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact He'll take the roster spot vacated by Richard Fitts (biceps). Moran has made a couple relief appearances with the Red Sox this season, allowing three runs with a 5:3 K:BB over four innings. The lefty has often been used for multiple innings during his outings in the majors and minors this season, so he'll offer the bullpen some length.

Returned to Triple-A Moran was optioned to Triple-A Worcester after Monday's game against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Moran was knocked around for two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out three over two innings Monday, ultimately resulting in his departure from the big-league club. He made two appearances for the big-league club since his promotion Aug. 11.

AUGUST 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets call to big leagues The Red Sox selected Moran's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

Impact Moran is back in the big leagues for the first time since 2023, after Tommy John surgery kept him out for the entire 2024 campaign and for the first couple of months of this season. After completing a rehab assignment in the lower rungs of the minors, Moran joined Worcester in late June and provided a 3.44 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 26:3 K:BB in 18.1 innings over 12 appearances to earn a promotion to the big club. Boston will likely deploy the lefty reliever in lower-leverage spots, at least initially.

Slated for promotion The Red Sox will call up Moran from Triple-A Worcester prior to Monday's game in Houston, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Moran has pitched well of late with Worcester, allowing three earned runs with an 18:0 K:BB over 11.2 innings. When/if Moran makes an appearance with the Red Sox, it will be his first since 2023 at the big-league level. The southpaw missed the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Activated from Triple-A IL Moran (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Moran missed all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery but has returned to make six rehab appearances in the lower minors, allowing four runs with a 17:5 K:BB over 7.2 innings. The lefty reliever has a career 29 percent strikeout rate in the majors and should get an opportunity with the Red Sox eventually, but he will need to knock off some rust at Worcester first.

JUNE 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealt to Boston The Twins traded Moran (elbow) to the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Mickey Gasper, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Moran missed all of 2024 after undergoing Tommy John surgery last offseason, and there's no telling if he'll be ready for the start of spring training. The 27-year-old reliever owns a 4.15 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 91 innings in his big-league career but will likely begin the season in the minors once he's cleared for game action.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to 60-day IL The Twins transferred Moran (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Moran suffered a left forearm strain at Triple-A St. Paul in August and will now officially miss the rest of the season. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster, allowing Chris Paddack (elbow) to return from his own stint on the 60-day IL.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors Moran was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moran recorded nine holds early in the season for Minnesota but will head down to Triple-A after giving up six runs in his past four outings. Brent Headrick was recalled from St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Takes second loss Moran (0-2) took the loss in Thursday's 8-4 loss to Detroit. He allowed three runs on three hits with a strikeout over one inning.

Impact Moran allowed surrendered three hits in the fifth inning, highlighted by Javier Baez's two-run triple that tied the game 4-4. The 26-year-old Moran had allowed just one run over his previous 11 appearances (10.2 innings). Thursday's outing was the first time he'd given up more than one run since April 18. Moran's ERA is now up to 4.50 with a 1.43 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 28 innings while working in middle relief for the Twins.

Impact Moran was called on to finish the game after Minnesota's top bullpen arms (Jorge Lopez, Griffin Jax, Johan Duran) had been used earlier in a tie game. Moran has struggled this season by allowing six earned runs in seven innings (7.71 ERA). Although he has nine strikeouts, he also has five walks. Moran struggled with walks in the minors before improving his control last season (11% walk rate), so his slow start is a concern.
