Left-handers Darwinzon Hernandez and Josh Taylor could join the Red Sox sometime within the next week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com writes. The 23-year-old Hernandez reached the majors for the very first time last season and struck out a ludicrous 16.91 players per 9 throughout 30 1/3 innings, though a horrid 7.71 BB/9 helped cause a below-average 4.45 ERA.
