Red Sox designate Carpenter for assignment

Jan. 22, 2013 - 2:55 PM ET

Red Sox designated RHP Chris Carpenter for assignment.

The move clears a spot for Mike Napoli on the 40-man roster. Carpenter, who was acquired from the Cubs last offseason as compensation for Theo Epstein, missed a large part of last season following elbow surgery and posted a 9.00 ERA in eight appearances with the big club. The hard-throwing right-hander figures to draw interest on waivers.
