Ort allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over one inning during Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Ort was partially victimized by shoddy fielding. He allowed a leadoff double to Jason Delay, who eventually scored on a sacrifice fly that wouldn't have happened without the fielding miscues. In between, there was a poor decision by first baseman Triston Casas, and another one by outfielder Masataka Yoshida which was compounded by third baseman Rafael Devers failing to cut off a misguided throw to plate. Ort's allowed four runs over five innings for a 7.20 ERA, which is an improvement on his spring ERA of 9.58.

Ort has allowed eight runs on 13 hits and seven walks while striking out seven over 8.1 spring innings.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox have stuck by Ort, keeping him on the 40-man roster over winter while jettisoning other pieces. The hard-throwing right-hander could be in jeopardy of being designated for assignment, which would open up a spot for Raimel Tapia or Jorge Alfaro, two non-roster invitees that have raked this spring and have opt-outs.

Ort (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ort was unavailable for Friday's series opener in Toronto due to his vaccination status, but he'll rejoin Boston's bullpen now that Canada no longer has a vaccine requirement for visitors. Over his last five appearances, the right-hander has posted a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in four innings.

Ort was placed on the restricted list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ort remains unvaccinated and will be unavailable for Friday's matchup in Toronto. However, he'll be eligible to rejoin the Red Sox as early as Saturday since Canada's vaccination requirement ends at the beginning of October. Jarren Duran was recalled to take Ort's spot on the active roster.

Ort allowed one hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Ort successfully worked around a two-out single to maintain a two-run lead and tally his first career save. He's had a few stints with the Red Sox this season, with his most recent beginning Aug 29. In 12.1 innings since, Ort has maintained a 2.92 ERA with a 14:8 K:BB. It's unclear whether he will get more save chances prior to the close of the campaign, but it is worth noting that Matt Barnes was likely unavailable after throwing in Boston's previous two games.

Ort was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ort was sent to the minors in mid-August but will rejoin the major-league bullpen as part of a move after Hirokazu Siwamura and Austin Davis were designated for assignment. Ort has posted a 9.00 ERA and 2.07 WHIP in 15 innings over 12 relief appearances in the big leagues this year.

Ort was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ort was recalled Tuesday and made a pair of appearances in his latest stint with the team, neither of which went well. He allowed a combined four runs (two earned) in 2.2 innings of work and now has a 9.00 ERA in 15 innings on the season. Jeurys Familia will take his place in the bullpen.

Ort was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old has been up in the majors for the past month but will head to Triple-A with Matt Barnes (shoulder) returning from the 60-day IL. In 10 major-league appearances this season, Ort has a 9.49 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB across 12.1 innings.

Ort was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ort began the season in Worcester and picked up 15 saves while recording a 3.12 ERA, 46:16 K:BB and 1.14 WHIP in 34.2 innings over 33 appearances. He's made just one major-league appearance but will join Boston's bullpen after Michael Feliz was designated for assignment Friday. Although he pitched in high-leverage situations in the minors, it's not yet clear whether he'll have similar opportunities in the big leagues.
