Before the season began, the Red Sox released Brendan Rodgers (who is currently injured).
That said, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reported the news that the franchise has brought him back on a new (Minor League) deal.
Hatfield wrote: “After being released earlier this week, veteran IF Brendan Rodgers has re-signed with the Red Sox on a two-year minor league deal. Allows him to rehab his shoulder surgery and stay with the team thru 2027.”

@REnjoyer2026: “Love it hope he comes back better than ever”
@zoidbergererer: “Love this”
Jake Kirby: “Boston Red Sox second baseman Brendan Rodgers will remain with the organization after signing a two-year minor league contract. Rodgers will miss the 2026 season recovering from shoulder surgery, offering no immediate value to fantasy rosters.”
@Christian_Rouse: “What’s up with these new 2 year minor league deals? Never seen it before this season….”
