The 2026 MLB season is entering a decisive stage, and the Boston Red Sox are still pushing for a postseason spot. According to the team’s official X account, Jedxison Pax was called up from Triple-A Worcester and will be one of the starting players available against the Seattle Mariners.
The pitcher, who also spent time with the Chicago White Sox, has a 2.92 ERA and a .159 BAA in three starts since being called up to Triple-A. The BoSox are strengthening their pitching staff, as they cannot afford to lose ground to the New York Yankees in the AL East.
The series against the Mariners began with a narrow 9-8 victory, and securing another win will be crucial. The Tampa Bay Rays continue to lead their division, so Boston will look to secure a Wild Card spot in some way.

The team reinstated Isiah Kiner-Falefa from the 60-day IL, in addition to designating Brett Harris for assignment. Finally, Eduardo Rivera was recalled from Triple-A Worcester and, due to a lumbar strain, was placed on the 60-day IL.
What’s next for Boston in the short term?
With a solid 75-63 record, the Red Sox are entering the final stretch with just 24 games remaining. Right now, they’re wrapping up a quick two-game series at home against the Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park (Sept 1–2).
Immediately after, they hit the road for a key four-game divisional clash against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards (Sept 3–6), before heading back to Fenway to host the Los Angeles Angels for a three-game set (Sept 7–9).
