Boston Red Sox pitcher Danny Coulombe threw two scoreless innings July 11 in a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets. It was his first scoreless outing after a couple recent hiccups.
His reward: losing his spot on the roster immediately after the game.
Boston designated Coulombe for assignment, according to multiple reports, likely ending the 36-year-old’s tenure with the Red Sox just before the All-Star break.

Coloumbe is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 2026, his 12th MLB season. According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, who first reported Coulombe was being designated for assignment, the left-hander’s contract included bonuses based on appearance that would have kicked in once he made 30 appearances.
Coulombe’s appearance against the Mets was his 29th of the season. The Red Sox now have seven days to either trade Coulombe, or place him on outright or unconditional release waivers.
