Red Sox Turning Monasterio into Outfield Option

0:00It's April 1st. Boston Red Sox News today starts now. AI powered in game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Boston Red Sox is turning utility man Andrew Monasterio into an outfield option. The 28-year-old already handles multiple spots, mostly infield, but now he's training there too. Earlier this week, a report noted he's working with Outfield Coach Kyle Hudson to build those skills. Monasterio has dipped into left field in the majors before, just four innings across three games. Fans and analysts see it as a head scratcher since Boston has too many outfielders already. Playing time is tight, so adding another arm out there feels off. Still, it boosts his versatility for the roster. Could be insurance if injuries hit or trades shake things up. We'll keep eyes on whether Monasterio logs real outfield innings this season, adding another layer to the Sox mix.
