The Red Sox Thursday morning announced that Alex Verdugo has been placed on the bereavement list.

Left-handed pitcher Brandon Walter, who was not at Polar Park in Worcester on Wednesday, is in Minnesota. The Sox said he been recalled from Triple-A Worcester and will wear number 75.
Yu Chang, the Sox confirmed, has been transferred to the 60-Day Injured List.
After the midmorning announcement about roster moves, the Sox announced just after 1 PM that “The Boston Red Sox today acquired right-handed pitcher Tayler Scott from the Los Angeles Dodgers, in exchange for cash considerations.”
To make room for Scott on the 40-man roster, the Sox said “the club transferred right-handed pitcher John Schreiber to the 60-Day Injured List.”
