BRENNAN BERNARDINO NEWS

Slated to open Sunday's contest Bernardino will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Mets at Fenway Park, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Bernardino will get his fourth turn as an opener after thriving in that capacity on the previous three occasions. Over those three "starts," Bernardino has covered 5.1 innings while striking out seven and allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk. He'll likely work one or two innings Sunday before giving way to the bullpen, with Chris Murphy representing the most likely option to serve as a bulk reliever.

Opening Monday's game Bernardino is slated to work as Boston's opening pitcher for Monday's game in Oakland, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The lefty has previously served as an opening pitcher for the Red Sox on two occasions, working 1.1 innings July 4 versus Texas and two innings July 7 versus Oakland. The Red Sox aren't likely to have Bernardino pitch more than once through the Athletics batting order before he turns the game over to the bullpen. Boston hasn't designated a primary pitcher to work behind Bernardino, but both Nick Pivetta and Chris Murphy are candidates to cover multiple innings.

Another turn as opener Bernardino will serve as the opener for Friday's game against the Athletics, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Bernardino filled the same role Tuesday, allowing one earned run across 1.1 innings. He's recorded exactly four outs in each of his last four big-league appearances, so he won't work deep into Friday's contest. Brandon Walter is expected to cover the majority of the innings following Bernardino.

Claimed by Boston Bernardino was claimed off waivers by the Red Sox and optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Bernardino made his major-league debut last year but began the 2023 campaign at Triple-A Tacoma. He allowed eight runs on 13 hits and a walk while striking out 11 in six innings over two relief appearances to begin the season and will attempt to right the ship with his new club.

Dropped from 40-man roster Bernardino was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Bernardino has struggled in his two appearances with Triple-A Tacoma this season, surrendering eight runs over six innings. With the Mariners selecting the contract of Darren McCaughan on Wednesday, Bernardino was the odd guy out on the 40-man roster. He will now either remain with Tacoma, get claimed by another team or be released outright, the first of which is most likely.

Heads to minors The Mariners optioned Bernardino to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Impact Bernardino made his big-league debut as a 30-year-old reliever in 2022, making two appearances out of Seattle's bullpen. The lefty impressed enough in his limited time with the Mariners and over a larger body of work at Tacoma to remain on the 40-man roster through the offseason, but the fact that Bernardino has two minor-league options remaining likely worked against him in his bid for a spot in Seattle's Opening Day bullpen.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back down Bernardino was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Makes quick return to majors The Mariners recalled Bernardino from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

The Mariners are likely to reserve Bernardino's usage for lower-leverage spots or for lefty-heavy portions of opposing lineups.

Sent back to Tacoma The Mariners returned Bernardino to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Impact Bernardino's stay with Seattle lasted just one day, as the Mariners designated him as their 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader with the Angels.
