The Red Sox traded reliever Eduardo Rivera to the Cardinals and designated Zack Kelly for assignment.
According to MLB.com, St. Louis acquired Rivera for minor league pitcher Juan Carlos Garcia, an 18-year-old from Mexico. According to Over the Monster, Kelly was chosen for the move partly because he is out of options. The Red Sox also picked up a one-year option on Garrett Whitlock, which keeps him with the team for at least 2027, per the Boston Globe.
