Triggs was outrighted off the 40-man roster before deciding to test the open market. The 31-year-old allowed seven runs over 8 1/3 innings with Boston this season.

Triggs had been on the shelf since September 15 due to radial nerve irritation in his arm. He'll probably make an appearances out of the bullpen over the final two days of the season. The 31-year-old owns a disappointing 8.59 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 7/6 K/BB ratio over 7 1/3 innings on the season.

The radial nerve runs through the posterior portion of the upper limb, and this issue will probably end Triggs' season. He had posted an 8.59 ERA in 7 1/3 innings between San Francisco and Boston.

Triggs got the start, and the only run allowed was a solo homer to Caleb Joseph. The pitching-desperate Red Sox have had the 31-year-old go three innings in his last two appearances, and this was a much more effective outing than the three-run outing he had against the Braves on Tuesday. Still, there’s very little fantasy value in this type of hurler. If Triggs starts again, it’s against the Rays or Marlins.
