The Red Sox released La Sorsa (concussion) on Thursday.
The Red Sox acquired La Sorsa from the Pirates at the beginning of June. He made one MLB appearance for Boston and surrendered a homer in one-third of an inning. Over six outings at Triple-A Worcester, he allowed no runs on five hits and a walk in 6.1 innings. The southpaw was on the injured list due to a concussion for the past month, and it's unclear if he's fully recovered at this point.

Triple-A Worcester placed La Sorsa on its 7-day injured list July 1 due to a concussion, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.
After being acquired from the Pirates on June 4, La Sorsa made his Red Sox debut three days later before being optioned to Triple-A soon thereafter. The reliever went on to toss 6.1 scoreless innings over six appearances for Worcester before hitting the shelf.

The Red Sox optioned La Sorsa to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
La Sorsa was just added to the Boston roster last week and made just one appearance, giving up a solo home run to one of the two batters he faced. The lefty reliever is being replaced on the active roster by utility player Nate Eaton, who was recalled from Worcester.

The Pirates traded La Sorsa to the Red Sox on Thursday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
La Sorsa will be active Friday for the Red Sox while they are in New York playing the Yankees. The southpaw exercised his upward-mobility clause at the end of May, and he'll now get a look in the majors with Boston. The Pirates are receiving cash considerations in return, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

La Sorsa is expected to trigger his upward mobility clause Monday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
La Sorsa signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates before the 2026 campaign and already attempted to find another suitor once by exercising his upward mobility clause, ultimately sticking around after he went unclaimed on waivers in late March. The southpaw has posted a 3.60 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over 25 innings in 21 appearances, including two starts, with Triple-A Indianapolis this season. It's unclear if he'll garner much interest on the open market.

La Sorsa will remain in the Pittsburgh organization and will accept an assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis after going unclaimed off waivers Wednesday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
La Sorsa, who had attended Pirates camp on a minor-league deal, had an upward-mobility clause in his contract that allowed him to move on from the Pirates if another organization had claimed him off waivers and placed him on its Opening Day roster. However, after finding no suitors on the waiver wire, La Sorsa will stick around with the Pirates and likely serve as a high-leverage arm in the Indianapolis bullpen to begin the season.
