Bianchi cleared waivers Thursday and was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports. Bianchi was designated for assignment last Monday, and after ten days the Red Sox decided to outright him to Triple-A after he cleared waivers. He's batting .302 with four RBI in 53 at-bats with Pawtucket this season.

Bianchi was designated for assignment Monday, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports. Biacnhi as appeared in only three games for the Red Sox this season, spending most of his time at Triple-A Pawtucket, where he's hitting .302 with four RBI and six strikeouts in 53 at-bats. He'll be subject to waivers and will likely land back at Triple-A if he goes unclaimed.

Bianchi filled in at third base Saturday when Pablo Sandoval left the game with tightness in his quadriceps. He went 0-for-2 in a loss to the Blue Jays. If Sandoval needs more time off, we suspect Brock Holt will be the fill-in starter at third base. Holt was already spelling Mike Napoli a first base Saturday, so Bianchi got the opportunity.

Bianchi has re-signed with the Red Sox, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe. To clear a spot, the Red Sox optioned Robbie Ross to Triple-A Pawtucket. Bianchi is brought back one day after fill-in shortstop Brock Holt booted two balls in Saturday night's 8-0 loss to Texas.

Bianchi elected free agency, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports. Bianchi has decided to test the open market rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A. The 28-year-old made one appearances as a pinch runner with Boston before being designated for assignment Thursday.

Bianchi was designated for assignment Thursday, the Boston Herald's Scott Lauber reports. Bianchi provided infield depth for a few days, making one appearance as a pinch-runner. If he goes unclaimed, he could get another shot with the Red Sox later in the season, but is unlikely to find his way to regular at-bats.

The Red Sox purchased Bianchi's contract from Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. Bianchi will join the active roster in place of Shane Victorino (calf), who landed on the 15-day DL in a corresponding move. The Red Sox will likely deploy Bianchi in a utility role across the infield, but he'll probably need a slew of injuries before he receives everyday at-bats.

Bianchi has agreed to a minor league deal with the Red Sox that includes an invitation to spring training, WEEI's Rob Bradford reports. He has 402 career plate appearances in the big leagues, all with the Brewers, and has a .216/.251/.283 slash line across three seasons. The Red Sox have so much offensive talent on the roster and in the minor leagues, that it is difficult to ever see Bianchi being much of a contributor. His ability to play multiple infield positions make him a potential utility player, but that is his ceiling.

Bianchi declined his outright assignment to Triple-A and will become a free agent, Tom Hardicourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Bianchi played in just 53 total games this season, splitting time between the Brewers and Triple-A Nashville. The 27-year-old will become a free agent after the completion of the World Series.

Bianchi (elbow) was activated from the 60-day DL on Thursday. The Brewers had a couple spots on the 40-man roster open up, with Alfredo Figaro claimed off waivers by the Rangers and Matt Pagnozzi outrighted, so they went ahead and activated Bianchi. The 27-year-old Bianchi was limited to a total of 53 games between Triple-A Nashville and the majors this season due to a right elbow strain, but assuming he's healthy, the former second-round pick will likely compete for a utility infield role come spring training.
