Rotowire
The Red Sox selected Gasper's contract from Triple-A Worcester, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Gasper has slashed .341/.458/.559 with 12 home runs this season between Double-A Portland and Worcester, splitting time primarily between catcher and first base. The 28-year-old's presence on the roster could allow the Red Sox to use their top two backstops, Connor Wong and Danny Jansen, in the same lineup more often.
