MLB: The Boston Red Sox selected Royals left-hander Austin Lambright and Yankees right-hander Brian Keller in the Rule 5 draft.
Lambright, 27, has not pitched since 2019 because of the pandemic and injuries. He has walked 52 batters in 69 2/3 innings in the minors, but left-handed hitters were 3 for 46 against him in 2019.
Keller, also 27, had a 2.77 ERA in 55 1/3 innings this year from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He has a career 3.16 ERA since being drafted in 2016, with 449 strikeouts in 441 1/3 innings.
Both players would need to stay on Boston’s major league roster for the entire 2022 season, or else they have to be offered back to their previous team.
No Red Sox prospects were selected.
