Red Sox trade left-hander Sean Newcomb to the Athletics for cash

On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox traded Sean Newcomb, a left-handed pitcher, to the Oakland Athletics for cash following his designation for assignment on Saturday.
The trade came as the A's faced a 3-15 slump and placed Nick Kurtz on the injured list due to a strained left hip flexor, creating roster needs.
Oakland added outfielder Drew Avans to the 40-man roster from Triple-A Las Vegas; he will make his major league debut and take the roster spot previously held by Kurtz.
Newcomb, a 31-year-old Massachusetts native with a 3.95 ERA this season and experience as both starter and reliever, posted 41 strikeouts in 41 innings for Boston.
The Athletics opened 40-man roster spots by designating Matt Krook and Ryan Cusick for assignment, signaling they will use Newcomb in varied pitching roles to bolster depth.
