The Twins dealt struggling reliever Jorge Alcala to the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for minor leaguer Andy Lugo.

The Red Sox are 34-36 and down two righty relievers with Liam Hendriks and Justin Slaten on the injured list, so they’ll hope Alcala can find his form and help cover some innings from the right side.

BOSTON — Right-handed reliever Jorge Alcala, who the Red Sox acquired from the Twins in a trade Wednesday, is here at Fenway Park. He will be available out of the bullpen for Boston’s series opener against the Yankees on Friday.
