BOSTON — The Red Sox made a minor trade to add some first base depth Thursday, obtaining outfielder/first baseman Ryan Noda from the Angels for cash, then optioning him to Triple-A Worcester. What might Noda provide? We asked a National League scout that has seen him throughout his career.

The Boston Red Sox, who have been without an everyday first baseman since Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury, have found a potential replacement.

Noda, who was optioned to Triple A Worcester, has mostly played first base in his big league career, but spent time in the outfield this season in the minors.

The Red Sox were supposed to start a four-game series with the Orioles at Fenway Park on Thursday, but Mother Nature had other plans. Boston's game against Baltimore has been rained out, and will be made up Friday afternoon as part of a doubleheader.
