Morgan McSweeney, a pitcher with Triple-A experience, has returned to the American professional baseball system after signing a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox. McSweeney had joined the CPBL's Rakuten Monkeys this season but was released by the team in early July.

During his time with the Monkeys, McSweeney appeared in nine games, starting eight. He posted a 1-4 record with a 5.08 ERA and a 1.74 WHIP, falling short of the team's expectations. His release marked the end of his stint in Taiwan's top professional baseball league.

McSweeney's career has seen him play within the Baltimore Orioles' system and reach as high as Triple-A. Last season, he transitioned from an independent league to the Miami Marlins organization, where he recorded a 2.21 ERA in Triple-A. His move to the Red Sox signifies a new chapter in his baseball journey.
