Removing Andriese from the roster means effectively declining the 2022 $3.5MM club option in favor of a $250k buy-out.
Other 2022 options still to be decided: Richards ($10MM), Perez ($6MM), Vazquez ($7-8MM), Schwarber ($11MM mutual).
Is that stat just based on getting to balls and fielding them cleanly? Maybe the issue is the throwing to 1B? Maybe the issue is the type of contact the starters are giving up?
Two more series against that dumpster fire.
The one thing that the Sox have in their back pocket is their final 6 games of the year:

Cora on how he hopes Houck improves moving forward: ‘If he improves, he’s on the Cy Young Award ballot’
I guess? He needs that third pitch. Whitlock got one from Andriese this offseason, Houck should go hang out with him.

Red Sox injury updates:
* Christian Arroyo starts rehab assignment as WooSox DH tonight
* Ryan Brasier will throw on back-to-back days (Wed, Thu) for Worcester
* Matt Andriese scheduled for 2 innings tonight for WooSox
* Danny Santana could start rehab this week

Cora on Shaw: ‘It gives us a veteran at-bat off the bench…It’s a more experienced at-bat than Franchy.’ Sox also like the way Shaw controls the strike zone. ‘It makes us a more complete unit.’

Cora says Sox will still have Schwarber play the field. Team hopes to have him play OF this weekend and will continue to have him get work in preparation for 1B.
