**Red Sox Bolster Bullpen with Activation of Jordan Hicks, First Piece of Devers Trade**
BOSTON – The Boston Red Sox activated right-handed reliever Jordan Hicks from the 15-day injured list on Monday, marking the arrival of the first player acquired in the June 15th trade that sent Rafael Devers to San Francisco. Hicks, who was on the IL with toe inflammation when the Red Sox acquired him along with left-hander Kyle Harrison and two prospects, made two rehab appearances for Triple-A Worcester before being deemed ready for major league action.
To clear a roster spot for Hicks, the Red Sox optioned right-hander Zack Kelly to Triple-A Worcester. Kelly had exited Sunday’s game with right oblique tightness, but manager Alex Cora assured reporters he was healthy prior to Monday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds.
In a separate roster move on Monday, Boston also reinstated infielder Marcelo Mayer from the bereavement list and optioned Nick Sogard to Worcester. The Red Sox are hoping Hicks can provide a boost to their bullpen as they continue their season.
