Ryan Brasier Stats

The Boston Red Sox called up relief pitcher Ryan Brasier from Triple-A prior to Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. The team sent fellow reliever Garrett Whitlock (pectoral) to the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Brasier has made just five appearances for the Red Sox this year and he has a 4.15 ERA and a 2.54 WHIP. Whitlock was one of the team's top setup men. Brasier likely won't see high-leverage work going forward. Hansel Robles, Josh Taylor and Garrett Richards figure to be the team's primary high-leverage arms in front of the team's primary closer Adam Ottavino.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Ryan Brasier (calf, head) will throw a live bullpen session in Worcester, MA on Sunday. If he throws well in the BP then he will likely remain with the Triple-A club to pitch in some simulated games next week. He's yet to pitch in the majors this season while dealing with a concussion and a calf strain but it sounds like he should return by mid-August if all goes well. He put up a 3.96 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and 30:11 K/BB across 25 innings last season. He won't have much value in fantasy as he won't operate as a closer but he'll be a boost to Boston's bullpen in real life.

Boston Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush said that relief pitcher Ryan Brasier (head) still has not cleared the concussion protocols after he was hit in the head on June 4. Brasier has been throwing every day but has yet to get back on the mound. The 33-year-old right-hander's timetable for a return in the second half of the season will depend on when he's cleared from the league's protocols, but it sounds like it will be at least a few weeks to a month before he can return. Brasier has yet to pitch in 2021 and was also dealing with a calf injury. He had a decent 3.96 ERA, 3.15 FIP, 1.40 WHIP and 30/11 K/BB in 25 appearances (one start) in 25 innings out of the bullpen last season. While he won't be a candidate for saves when he returns, he will be a boost to Boston's setup stable when he returns.
