The Red Sox trade for Rajai Davis:
The AL East-leading Boston Red Sox boosted their outfield depth by acquiring speedy Rajai Davis from the Oakland Athletics for a minor league outfielder on Wednesday.
The Red Sox sent 18-year-old Rafael Rincones to the last-place A’s. Hours earlier, Boston put center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. on the 10-day disabled list because of a sprained left thumb.
Davis is expected to join the Red Sox in Cleveland on Thursday for a game between division leaders. He hit .233 with 26 stolen bases, five home runs and 18 RBIs in 100 games with Oakland this season.
Boston won’t lose much defense with Davis in the outfield. He also gives them a great pinch runner when Bradley returns.
