I'm Cory with the story.

The Boston Red Sox made a couple key roster moves on Friday, placing right-hander Yohan

Oviato on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow.

Strain.

They also put Garrett Whitlock on the paternity list and brought up right-handers Zach Kelly

and Tyler Uberstein from the miners to fill those spots.

Oviato, a 28-year-old from Cuba, just made his Red Sox debut last month against the Houston

Astros, tossing three and two-thirds innings in.

Relief.

Whitlock, 29 from Georgia, had a clean inning against the Astros on Wednesday and has

been sharp this season with three scoreless outings.

These changes hit the pitching staff right as they build momentum, but the team has depth

to lean on.

Oviato has been solid in his career across St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and now Boston, while

Whitlock brings better and experience with over 300.

Innings under his belt.

Kelly, 31 from Virginia, comes off three scoreless minor league innings this year and knows

the big leagues from 49 games last season.

Uberstein, 26 from California, impressed in his triple A start with four innings in

just one run allowed.

With these swaps, the Red Sox stay flexible in the bullpen and rotation, keeping eyes

on quick returns as the season heats up.
