RYAN BRASIER NEWS

Designated for assignment Brasier was designated by the Red Sox after Sunday's game, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact It's likely that Brasier is being removed from the active and 40-man rosters in order to make room for Joely Rodriguez (oblique) with Rodriguez expected to come off the injured list before Monday's game against Seattle. Brasier struggled mightily in his 20 appearances with the Red Sox in 2023 with a 7.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 21 innings of work. If he goes unclaimed, Brasier will have to decide if he'll accept an assignment to Triple-A Worcester or elect free agency.

Cedes multiple runs again Brasier allowed three runs on one hit and two walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Cleveland.

Impact Brasier was the most egregious part of bullpen meltdown and has allowed multiple runs in five of 14 appearances. He survived an offseason bullpen purge, largely because he was a strike thrower, but the right-hander has walked eight in 14 innings and sports an 8.36 ERA. With news that Kenley Jansen (back) is unavailable Sunday, Brasier, who saved a game earlier in April when Jansen was unavailable, could be in line for another.

Picks up first save Brasier picked up the save during Sunday's 2-1 win over the Angels, striking out one over a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Kenley Jansen recorded saves Friday and Saturday, so he was likely unavailable Sunday, which allowed Brasier to get his first save opportunity. The right-hander was sharp and retired Zach Neto, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani in order. After giving up three runs in his first outing of the season, Brasier has tossed a scoreless frame in seven of his past eight outings, recording eight strikeouts during that stretch.

Logs first hold Brasier allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless eighth inning to earn his first hold in Thursday's 6-3 win over Detroit.

Impact Brasier made his third consecutive scoreless appearance following an Opening Day meltdown when he allowed three runs on two hits, two walks, a hit batsman and threw a wild pitch. This was the first time a save opportunity was presented to Boston, and manager Alex Cora signaled his confidence in Brasier, who usually displays better control that the results of his first outing indicates.

Settles with BoSox Brasier signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Red Sox on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact 2022 saw Brasier record a career-worst 5.78 ERA through 62.1 innings, though his 4.92 K/BB ratio was one of the better marks across the majors. Still, the 35-year-old reliever has a tendency to get hit around more often than not, and holds almost no fantasy value beyond the deepest of leagues.

Perfect inning to secure hold Brasier allowed zero runs on zero hits and zero walks while striking out zero over one inning Sunday against the Yankees.

Impact Brasier needed just 13 pitches to set down the Yankees in order in the eight inning and secure his eighth hold of the season Sunday. The veteran reliever has not been sharp most of the season as he now has a 5.20 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 45 innings, but he has just three blown saves in 48 appearances and has not allowed a run in six out of his last seven outings. He is a long shot for saves the rest of the season but may lock down a few more holds.

Collects first save of year Brasier struck out two in a perfect 11th inning Friday to record his first save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Yankees.

Impact John Schreiber, Garrett Whitlock and Tanner Houck -- who blew the save in the ninth but stayed in to pitch a scoreless 10th -- had all seen action already by the time Boston re-took the lead in the top of the 11th, leaving Brasier to handle the save opportunity. Given the 34-year-old's 5.40 ERA through six appearances in July, however, Brasier isn't likely to see consistent high-leverage work after the All-Star break despite getting the job done Friday.
