The decision was attributed to the majority of Boston's bullpen being tired, leaving Barraclough to pitch multiple innings despite the outcome.[31] Cora gave Barraclough the option to end his outing before the ninth inning and have a position player pitch, but Barraclough declined and finished the game.[32] Barraclough was optioned back to Worcester the next day.[33] On September 24, Barraclough was designated for assignment following the activation of Zack Kelly from the injured list.[34] On September 26, he cleared waivers and was subsequently outrighted to Worcester.[35] Barraclough elected free agency on October 10.[36]
