Alcala loses his spot on the Cardinals’ 40-man roster after posting a bloated 5.02 ERA across 14 1/3 innings over 15 appearances this past season for St. Louis. He’s rapidly heading towards journeyman status after pitching for three different organizations last year.

Alcala was designated for assignment Tuesday, and it was unsurprising that someone put in a waiver claim. He should start as a middle-inning option with St. Louis, but it’s not out of the question that he could eventually work into a high-leverage role.

Alcala had a 3.31 ERA for the Red Sox, but he had allowed seven of his nine inherited runners to score in 16 1/3 innings and had to be bailed out a couple of times. It was unfortunate that he gave up four homers while allowing just three barrels, but the Red Sox just ran out of patience here. Someone should grab him; he’s throwing 96-99 mph, and is he finishes up well, he could be retained for $2 million-$3 million in arbitration.

The deal is now official. Alcala ships up to Boston as a bit of a reclamation project after posting a disastrous 8.88 ERA across 24 1/3 innings (22 appearances) to open the year. The Red Sox are dealing with several injuries to key relievers, so the move represents a relatively low-cost gamble that could pay off, especially if Alcala re-discovers the form that enabled him to register a solid 3.24 ERA over 58 1/3 innings (53 appearances) last season for Minnesota. The 29-year-old righty was due for a change of scenery. He figures to pitch in middle relief out of Boston’s bullpen.

MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo reports minor league infielder Andy Lugo is headed to Minnesota in the deal. Alcala has struggled to an inflated 8.88 ERA across 24 1/3 innings (22 appearances) this season for Minnesota and the club has decided to move on. The Red Sox are willing to roll the dice that they can get him back to the form he displayed last year when he compiled a strong 3.24 ERA with 58 punchouts over 58 1/3 innings (54 appearances). It’s a relatively low-risk deal for Boston as they’re currently without key relievers Justin Slaten and Liam Hendriks due to injuries.
