The Red Sox made a roster move on Friday, claiming catcher Ali Sanchez off waivers from Toronto. The move puts the Red Sox' 40-man roster at the full 40 players, filling the vacancy left by Jorge Alcala being designated for assignment earlier this week.

Sanchez, 28, made his MLB debut in the 2020 season, though he's played just 46 games at the big league level. Overall, he's hitting just .186 with a .461 OPS in 131 plate appearances. This season, albeit in a limited sample size of eight games, he's hit .238 with a .571 OPS for Toronto.
