To make room on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated rookie right-hander Chase Shugart for assignment.
Sabol, 27, played 11 games with the Giants last season, hitting 10-for-32 (.313). He started seven of those games as catcher. In 2023, he posted a .235 batting average with 13 home runs and 44 RBIs while splitting his time between catcher and outfielder.
The Giants designated Sabol for assignment just last week.
Shugart, 28, made his MLB debut on August 14, 2024. He didn’t earn a decision in his six relief appearances, giving up four runs in 8 2/3 innings for a 4.15 ERA. He struck out eight and walked three.
Shugart was drafted by the Red Sox in the 12th round of the 2018 MLB Draft out of the University of Texas.
