“I had some injuries in the beginning of September with my groin. I was trying to get it done and get it ready,” Mujica said during a conference call.
The Red Sox see Mujica as being a viable late-inning option who could fill-in as closer if Koji Uehara needs a break. When Cherington called, Mujica was open to the idea.
“He told me, ‘We got Koji, we got [Junichi] Tazawa and a couple of more guys. But you did a pretty good during the season and we need a guy like you to back them up,’ ” Mujica said. “I’m so happy to do that job.”
