The Boston Red Sox have officially announced the signing of right-hander Koji Uehara to a contract for the 2013 season.
The 37-year-old native of Japan did not record a decision in 37 games last season for the Texas Rangers, posting to a 1.75 earned run average while recording 43 strikeouts compared to three walks.
Uehara debuted in the majors as a starter with Baltimore in 2009. The Orioles moved him to the bullpen the following year and dealt him to Texas at the 2011 trade deadline.
