Ready to face hitters Brasier (concussion) is scheduled to face hitters in live batting practice Sunday at Triple-A Worcester, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports. Impact Brasier has been on the injured list all season with a calf strain and, most recently, a concussion, but he finally looks to be honing in on his 2021 debut. If he checks out fine in the live BP session, Brasier should be able to pitch in some simulated games next week before graduating to minor-league rehab games. Boston is optimistic the right-handed reliever will be ready to return from the 60-day IL around mid-August.
