The 31-year-old played in 114 games for Los Angeles, hitting .259 with a .670 OPS and eight home runs. He has exclusively played shortstop since leaving the Red Sox in 2013 in the three-way deal that brought Boston Jake Peavy, manning the position for Detroit, Cincinnati, Baltimore and the Angels.
Iglesias is on the Red Sox' 28-man active roster and wearing the No. 12. Known for his defense, the Cuba native will likely get the majority of activity at shortstop while Xander Bogaerts continues reside on the COVID-19-related injured list.
