Latest on both pitchers via Rotoworld:
Bridwell allowed two runs and two hits over five innings Tuesday in his start against the Yankees. Bridwell managed to work around five walks before leaving with a one-run lead. It’s unclear if he’ll make another start; it will probably depends on what happens with Matt Shoemaker and his bid to return this weekend.
Red Sox claimed Fister off waivers from the Angels. Fister exercised the opt-out clause in his $1.75 million deal with the Angels earlier this week, but Boston scooped him up on release waivers. The sinkerballer will start on Sunday against the Angels and could fill a spot in their rotation until Eduardo Rodriguez (knee) is ready to return.
