Red Sox Boss Provides Important Update on Boston's Trade Deadline Plans originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's impossible to get a feel for what the Boston Red Sox might do at the trade deadline at the end of July. Prior to July 31, the Red Sox will have to turn things around if they want to buy.

The Boston Red Sox activated right-handed reliever Jordan Hicks from the 15-day injured list Monday, bringing in their first piece of the Rafael Devers trade. To make room for Hicks, they optioned right-hander Zack Kelly to Triple-A Worcester.
