Red Sox optioned RHP Rubby De La Rosa to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Perhaps the most exciting name acquired in the mid-season trade with the Dodgers last year, De La Rosa had virtually no chance of making the team out of spring training. The organization will play it very cautiously with their prized right-hander, who is currently working his way back from Tommy John surgery. Fantasy owners should still keep a close eye on him however, as he should make his way to Boston at some point in 2013. Mar 15 - 7:29 PM

Rubby De La Rosa - R - Red Sox

Despite impressive results early in spring training, Red Sox manager John Farrell has indicated that Rubby De La Rosa will not make the team out of spring training.

Furthermore, he went as far to say that he could begin the year at Double-A Portland. The organization is being rightfully cautious with De La Rosa in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, but his stuff is too good to remain in the minor leagues for long. Expect to see him in Boston at some point during the 2013 campaign.

Rubby De La Rosa topped out at 100 mph in Sunday's Grapefruit League appearance.

The Red Sox are being cautious with De La Rosa in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, but the 23-year-old should contribute at some point in 2013. "Three pitches for strikes, confidence on the mound, a lot of good things out of him," said manager John Farrell. "When you profile that out, he's a starter. Time will tell what role he settles into."

Rubby De La Rosa - R - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Rubby De La Rosa has "been impressive" early in spring training.

"He’s been impressive, not just in terms of the sheer stuff, but his ability to manipulate the baseball," Farrell said. "We’ll be a little bit more slow-paced with him early on." De La Rosa has been the talk of spring training and there's a lot of excitement about him right now. The Red Sox are expected to put him on an innings-limit in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, but he could force his way into the majors at some point in 2013.

Rubby De La Rosa - R - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Tuesday that Rubby De La Rosa will be restricted to two-inning outings this spring.

De La Rosa had Tommy John surgery in August of 2011, so the Red Sox want to be careful with his workload. The hard-throwing 23-year-old will likely begin the season with Triple-A Pawtucket, but he could contribute in Boston's rotation at some point this summer.

Rubby De La Rosa - R - Red Sox

Red Sox acquired RHP Rubby De La Rosa from the Dodgers to complete the Adrian Gonzalez trade.

De La Rosa and Sands did not clear waivers at the time of the trade, so the Red Sox had to wait until after the season to acquire them. The 23-year-old right-hander was limited to just 13 2/3 innings this year between the majors and minors following Tommy John surgery, but has the potential to make an impact in Boston's rotation next year.

Rubby De La Rosa is one of the players to be named later in the blockbuster trade between the Red Sox and Dodgers.

De La Rosa will officially change organizations once the regular season concludes. The 23-year-old right-hander has posted a 2.75 ERA and a 9.2 K/9 in over 230 minor league innings and carries the potential of a top-end starter.

Dodgers optioned RHP Rubby De La Rosa to Triple-A Chattanooga.

Very interesting. Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times writes that De La Rosa was believed to be claimed on waivers by the Blue Jays, so sending him to the minors would allow the Dodgers to include him as a player to be named later if the club agrees to the blockbuster deal with the Red Sox.

Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports that the Dodgers have discussed Allen Webster, Zach Lee, Rubby De La Rosa and Jerry Sands in trade talks with the Red Sox.

The Dodgers and Red Sox are reportedly close to a deal that would send Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto to Los Angeles. The Red Sox wouldn't get all four of the names mentioned above, but one or more of them could go in a trade package. Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Red Sox would send some cash to the Dodgers to help facilitate a deal.
