Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Greg Weissert, Boston Red Sox relief pitcher, is experiencing the worst season of his career in 2026. After posting a solid 2.82 ERA in 2025 across 72 games, Weissert has struggled significantly this season with a 5.52 ERA in 17 appearances. He has blown 4 leads, allowed 7 inherited runners to score (tied for 3rd most in MLB), and maintains a 50% scoring rate on inherited runners. His WHIP has ballooned to 1.636. Weissert has been candid about his struggles, stating "It's not secret. I'm pitching like s***" after another blow-up outing against Tampa Bay on May 8, 2026. Despite his poor performance, the Red Sox have opted to send him to Triple-A rather than designate him for assignment, given his previous success and remaining minor league option.
