“Ah, the good old days,” former Red Sox infielder Lou Merloni said on the broadcast.

The left-hander’s last appearance was on Tuesday, when he threw seven innings against the Kansas City Royals, giving up two earned runs while allowing six hits.

Dobbins was part of a Red Sox pitching staff that struck out Major League Baseball batting leader Aaron Judge three times and held him without a homer for just the second time in the past six games.
