Latest news
Gamboa will operate as the opening pitcher for the Red Sox in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Gamboa will garner his third start of the season, albeit in a non-traditional fashion once again. The southpaw pitcher has produced a 1.16 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 31 innings in 20 appearances, including two starts, with Boston this season. Gamboa will likely to be limited to an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen, with lefty Jake Bennett being a candidate to cover multiple frames of relief behind him.

Gamboa will serve as the opening pitcher during the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Gamboa has fired 7.2 shutout innings since returning to the majors Aug. 12, bringing his ERA down to just 1.31 through 20.2 MLB frames on the year. He'll now receive his second opening assignment of the season and could remain in the game for multiple innings before turning the game over to Boston's bullpen.

Gamboa will operate as Boston's opening pitcher Monday against the Diamondbacks, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Gamboa will make the first start of his major-league career, albeit in a non-traditional capacity. The southpaw has produced an impressive 1.59 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 17 innings in nine appearances out of the bullpen. Since Gamboa most recently tossed three innings and 36 pitches in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Pirates, he'll likely be in store for a limited workload before turning the game over to right-hander Brayan Bello, who is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

The Red Sox recalled Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.
Gamboa has been up and down between Worcester and Boston several times this season and has pitched well with the big club, logging a 2.08 ERA and 12:5 K:BB across 13 frames. He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Seth Martinez, who was designated for assignment.

The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester.
He'll give up his spot on the active roster to left-hander Ranger Suarez (groin/illness), who was reinstated ahead of his scheduled start Sunday versus the Blue Jays. Gamboa's latest stint in the majors lasted four days, with the lefty striking out seven and allowing one earned run on five hits and one walk across five innings between two relief appearances.

Gamboa will remain with the Red Sox after serving as the 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader against Baltimore, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Gamboa was originally expected to return to Triple-A Worcester after the conclusion of Wednesday's twin bill, but it'll instead be Eduardo Rivera who heads back to the minors to get Boston back within the 26-man limit. Gamboa pitched a scoreless inning Wednesday to bring his ERA down to 2.00 through nine frames, and he's likely to remain in a middle-relief role with Boston.
