Burdi spun 5.1 scoreless innings with a 5:2 K:BB during his brief time with the Red Sox this season but spent most of the year at Triple-A Worcester, holding a 2.83 ERA and 45:16 K:BB across 35 frames. Slated to turn 33 in January, Burdi will likely begin the 2026 season as relief depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

Burdi cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to left-hander Jovani Moran, who was called up from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Monday's series opener in Houston.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction will free up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of left-hander Jovani Moran, who will be called up from Triple-A Worcester. Burdi has allowed two runs with a 4:3 K:BB over three innings at Worcester since returning from a hip injury. The righty reliever has pitched well this season when healthy, so he could receive interest via trade or waivers.

The Red Sox reinstated Burdi (hip) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Worcester.

EDGE Analysis

A bruised foot caused Burdi to land on the injured list June 3, but a hip injury suffered at Worcester caused him to move to the 60-day IL. He'll now come off the IL following a minimum-length stay, though the Red Sox will keep him in the minors for the time being. The 32-year-old has thrown 5.1 shutout innings for Boston this season and sports a 1.23 ERA through 22 Triple-A frames.

The Red Sox transferred Burdi (hip) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for designated hitter/outfielder Masataka Yoshida (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day IL. Burdi originally went on the IL with a foot issue in early June, but he had a setback just over a week ago, when he suffered a hip injury. He won't be eligible to return until early August.

Burdi (foot) has been shut down due to a hip injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burdi had been rehabbing at Triple-A Worcester, but he hasn't appeared in a game since June 15. It's now known he's picked up a hip injury and has been temporarily shut down. The severity of his setback is unclear.

Burdi (foot) hasn't pitched for Triple-A Worcester since making his most recent rehab appearance June 15.

EDGE Analysis

Burdi began his assignment June 13, and after tossing a scoreless inning that same day, he then pitched two days later and allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk over 1.1 innings. According to Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com, Burdi was removed from the Triple-A roster Wednesday but wasn't activated from the Red Sox's injured list, which could be a sign that he's dealing with a setback that resulted in him being pulled off his assignment. The right-hander has been on the shelf since June 3 due to a right foot contusion.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Burdi (foot) could begin a rehab assignment before the end of the week, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burdi was placed on the 15-day injured list just over a week ago with a right foot contusion and is close to being cleared to test things out in a game setting. The reliever is eligible for activation June 18 and appears likely to return on that date, barring a setback.
