Alex Cora, Red Sox 'Jumped' At Opportunity To Claim Taylor Motter Alex Cora explained why he and the Red Sox "jumped" at the opportunity to claim Taylor Motter off waivers Thursday from the Rockies.
Claimed by Boston Motter was claimed off waivers by the Red Sox on Thursday.
Impact Motter was cast off the Rockies' 40-man roster Monday after he hit .150 across 13 major-league appearances this year. It wouldn't be surprising to see him join the big-league roster at some point if the Red Sox deal with additional absences in the midst of their current COVID-19 outbreak.

Impact Motter's contract was selected by the Rockies on Aug. 10, and he served as utility depth with the big-league club. He hit .150 with two runs, two walks and six strikeouts across 13 appearances in the majors and will be removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Raimel Tapia (toe), who was reinstated from the injured list Monday.

Joins big-league club The Rockies selected Motter's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Impact The 31-year-old has dominated Triple-A this season, slashing .335/.460/.759 with 24 home runs and 57 RBI in 265 at-bats. Motter's only big-league stint was in 2018, when he appeared in 17 games with the Mariners and Twins.
