Sharp made four relief appearances for the Marlins during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. He was cut loose by the Nationals in early August and wound up latching on with the Red Sox a few days later. The 27-year-old righty reliever returns to Boston's system as extra organizational relief depth after posting a serviceable 5.45 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 90/42 K/BB ratio across 100 2/3 innings (25 appearances, 20 starts) last season between the Double-A and Triple-A levels. He remains an interesting relief project for the Red Sox.

Sharp was released by the Nationals on Monday after struggling to a 6.62 ERA and 59/30 K/BB ratio through 66 2/3 innings this year at Triple-A Rochester. He'll join up with the Triple-A affiliate of the Red Sox in Worcester.

Sharp made four relief appearances for the Marlins during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign as a Rule 5 selection before being returned to the Nationals later that season. The 27-year-old righty posted a lackluster 6.62 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 59/30 K/BB ratio across 66 2/3 innings (18 appearances, 13 starts) this season for Triple-A Rochester.

Sharpe was knocked around in his last couple appearances with the Marlins, who then designated him for assignment. He and outfielder Jeremy De La Rosa have both been added to the Nationals' 60-man player pool, per Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post.
