Yesterday, we discussed the chances of two-time All-Star first baseman Carlos Delgado returning to the Big Leagues. He’s has not played with the Boston Red Sox Triple-A Pawtucket team since August 15 and is currently on the team’s disabled list.

Today ESPNBoston.com’s Gordon Edes said that Delgado remains with the organization despite having a September 1 opt-out clause on his agreement with the Red Sox. The PawSox have only six games left in the season, and given the few games that Delgado has played in, it’s unlikely that he’ll be called up to the Majors this season.

Delgado flew to Colorado today to consult with his surgeons regarding the discomfort he has been experiencing in his left hip. He was signed in early August to provide the Sox insurance at first base. He has gone 3-for-13 since his return to professional baseball. Delgado, coming off arthroscopic surgery on his right hip, has not played since May 10, 2009.
