Making first career start Brewer will start Friday's game against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact The 27-year-old has allowed four runs with a 10:5 K:BB through 10 innings out of the bullpen this season (and had a 4.12 ERA over 54.2 innings last year), but he's set to make his first big-league start in New York. Brewer covered three innings on 52 pitches in his last outing, so he should be able to progress to at least four innings Friday, if he pitches well enough.

Ineffective in bulk relief role Brewer threw three innings during Monday's 8-7 loss to the Rays as the bulk reliever, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out two. He didn't...
Impact After Ryan Brasier tossed a scoreless first inning as the opener for Boston, Brewer entered the game with a 3-0 lead and quickly let Tampa start its comeback. The 27-year-old threw 52 pitches (37 strikes) in his longest appearance yet this season, but Brewer likely wasn't effective enough to officially join the rotation moving forward. Still, the Red Sox don't have many other options right now. If he stays on schedule, look for Brewer to handle a big workload out of the bullpen again in Friday's road game against the Yankees.

Won't start Monday Manager Ron Roenicke said that Brewer won't start Monday against the Rays, but the right-hander is still expected to see the heaviest workload out of the bullpen behind opener Ryan...
Impact Brasier hasn't covered more than an inning in any of his five appearances this season, so he's highly unlikely to cover more than two frames before bowing out of the contest. Once Brasier exits, Brewer profiles as the top candidate in the Boston bullpen to eat innings, though he shouldn't be viewed as the "primary pitcher" teams typically like to deploy behind openers. Brewer hasn't tossed more than 44 pitches in any outing this season, so he likely won't be asked to push much further past that count Monday.

Preparing for 'bulk' role Manager Ron Roenicke said Brewer will likely cover a bulk of the innings for Monday's game against the Rays, either as a long reliever or a traditional starter, Bill Koch of The Pr...
Impact Desperate for answers in the rotation, the Red Sox will give Brewer a trial in the bulk role for what should resemble a bullpen game in the series opener with Tampa Bay. Considering Brewer hasn't tossed more than 44 pitches in any of his five appearances on the season, Roenicke likely won't ask him to push much further beyond the 60-to-75-pitch range Monday.

Moreland 2 HRs, walk-off shot sends Red Sox over Toronto 5-3
Mitch Moreland hit two home runs, including a walk-off shot over the Green Monster to send the Boston Red Sox past the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3AUGUST 9, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fans two in win Brewer walked one and struck out two over a scoreless inning in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Rays.
Impact Brewer was groomed as a low-leverage reliever that could serve in multiple-inning situations during spring training and summer camp. He's made four appearances thus far: twice for bulk innings early in games and twice in mop-up roles. With the back end of Boston's rotation in flux, Brewer could pop up as an opener when not serving in low-impact situations. In six innings, he's allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight.
