(AP Photo\/Frank Franklin II)AP<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p id=\"PA43VTO5ZFHEHK37NHJR22NDME\">Since the start of spring training, the Red Sox have added veterans Adam Ottavino and Matt Moore to their camp roster as non-roster invitees. Another experienced arm has joined the mix, albeit not in major league camp.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EZTBXJNI5NGUJGYEVP75D3VNQA\">Boston signed 32-year-old right-hander Nick Burdi to a minor league contract, a source confirmed late Friday. The oft-injured reliever is in minor league camp and is not a non-roster invitee on the big league side. He was spotted in Fort Myers on Friday, as Beyond The Monster\u2019s Chris Henrique first reported.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MFGTANFERRFE3CILPHU5ZPF6VE\">Burdi, a Louisville star who the Twins took in the second-round back in 2014, has logged 31 appearances over parts of five seasons with the Pirates, Cubs and Yankees. In 2024, he made New York\u2019s Opening Day roster, then posted a 1.86 ERA (along with a 5.44 FIP) in 12 appearances (9 \u2154 innings) out of the Yankees&#8217; bullpen before hitting the injured list. His fastball maxed out at 97.7 mph but he also walked nine batters in that short sample period. In 17 relief innings at Triple-A last year, he logged a 2.65 ERA with a 24:11 strikeout-to-walk rate.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YFKLFKNK6FETVOJ746CZJLSEH4\">Burdi has been bitten hard by the injury bug throughout his career, having Tommy John surgery in May 2017 and October 2020 as well as thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in 2019. He missed most of 2023 after an emergency appendectomy and most of 2024 with a hip issue. In total, he has a 6.48 ERA in 25 big league innings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"QXUTMWGX75DW7PSUDE4PE2NEVE\">Burdi seems like someone who, if healthy, will open the year in Worcester\u2019s bullpen. His brother, Zack, was the 26th overall pick in 2016 and has made 18 appearances in the majors with the White Sox, Orioles and Rays.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><b>BETTING:<\/b><\/i><i> Check out our <\/i>MA sports betting guide<i>, where you can learn basic terminology, definitions and how to read odds for those interested in learning how to bet in Massachusetts.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>How hard was Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet\u2019s fastball in his start Friday?<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox roster projection: Where does Rafael Devers play?
