Set to operate as opener Monday
Gamboa will operate as Boston's opening pitcher Monday against the Diamondbacks, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Analyse
Gamboa will make the first start of his major-league career, albeit in a non-traditional capacity. The southpaw has produced an impressive 1.59 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 17 innings in nine appearances out of the bullpen. Since Gamboa most recently tossed three innings and 36 pitches in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Pirates, he'll likely be in store for a limited workload before turning the game over to right-hander Brayan Bello, who is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

Rejoins big-league bullpen
The Red Sox recalled Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.
Analyse
Gamboa has been up and down between Worcester and Boston several times this season and has pitched well with the big club, logging a 2.08 ERA and 12:5 K:BB across 13 frames. He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Seth Martinez, who was designated for assignment.
