The Boston Red Sox made a tweak to their bullpen heading into Monday night's pivotal showdown with the Houston Astros.
At this point in the season, it's all hands on deck for the Boston Red Sox, especially in the bullpen.
Heading into a crucial match-up with the Houston Astros on Monday, the Red Sox can ill afford any more late-game blow-ups from their bullpen. One of their worst losses of the second half came against these same Astros on August 9, when a 3-1 lead in the seventh inning turned into an 8-4 loss. Weissert, 29, was in an extended funk before the Red Sox sent him down. He allowed 12 earned runs in his 11 most recent appearances for Boston, including two blown saves in extra innings. His season ERA sits at 4.24.
Horn, 26, was demoted the day after allowing a back-breaking two-run home run to the Baltimore Orioles' Gunnar Henderson in the Red Sox's 4-2 loss on Sunday. He has a 6.48 ERA in 14 big-league appearances with Boston this year.
