Brasier signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the Dodgers on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal could max out at $13 million if incentives are reached. Brasier was released by the Red Sox last May following a dreadful start but thrived after being picked up by the Dodgers off the scrap heap, posting a 0.70 ERA and 38:10 K:BB over his final 38.2 frames. The 36-year-old will attempt to pick up where he left off in 2024.

Brasier earned a hold against the Nationals on Friday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Brasier entered in the eighth inning to serve as the bridge to closer Evan Phillips and retired the side in order on 14 pitches. His late-frame deployment suggests manager Dave Roberts' growing trust in him -- since Aug. 12, Brasier has collected five holds in nine scoreless appearances. Brasier struggled with the Red Sox early this season but has been lights-out since joining the Dodgers in June, posting a 0.86 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB over 31.1 innings while picking up seven holds, two wins and one save.

Brasier walked one batter in a scoreless inning and earned a save against Baltimore on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brasier forced a double play after walking the leadoff batter and finished off the 6-4 win. Since being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in June, he's allowed just two earned runs over 12.1 innings, lowering his season ERA to 5.13 through 31 MLB appearances. Neither Evan Phillips or Brusdar Graterol appeared in Monday's win.

The Dodgers selected Brasier's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Braiser was released by the Red Sox in May after accumulating a 7.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 21 innings. He signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers on June 5 and has thrown three scoreless innings with five strikeouts in Triple-A since then, earning himself another shot in the bigs. Given his subpar track record in the majors as of late, Braiser will likely be limited to low-leverage outings while in Los Angeles.

Brasier said Monday that he has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Dodgers, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being designated for assignment by Boston on May 14 and later released, Brasier had been on the open market for about two weeks before linking up with the Dodgers. The 35-year-old right-hander will likely report to Triple-A Oklahoma City with his new organization, hoping to eventually earn a promotion to Los Angeles at some point later this summer. He turned in a 7.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over his 20 relief appearances with Boston this season prior to being cut loose.

Brasier was released by the Red Sox on Sunday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he was designated for assignment May 14, Brasier is now a free agent following Sunday's transaction. The right-hander has struggled to a bloated 7.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with 18 strikeouts over 21 innings in 20 appearances with Boston this season. Brasier will likely get another opportunity in the near future considering his experience at the professional level, though he carries little fantasy value.

Brasier was designated for assignment by the Red Sox after Sunday's game, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's likely that Brasier is being removed from the active and 40-man rosters in order to make room for Joely Rodriguez (oblique), with Rodriguez expected to come off the injured list before Monday's game against Seattle. Brasier struggled mightily in his 20 appearances with the Red Sox in 2023 with a 7.29 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 21 innings of work. If he goes unclaimed, Brasier will have to decide if he'll accept an assignment to Triple-A Worcester or elect free agency.

Brasier allowed three runs on one hit and two walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Brasier was the most egregious part of a bullpen meltdown and has allowed multiple runs in five of 14 appearances. He survived an offseason bullpen purge, largely because he was a strike thrower, but the right-hander has walked eight in 14 innings and sports an 8.36 ERA. With news that Kenley Jansen (back) is unavailable Sunday, Brasier, who saved a game earlier in April when Jansen was unavailable, could be in line for another opportunity to close.

Brasier picked up the save during Sunday's 2-1 win over the Angels, striking out one over a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Kenley Jansen recorded saves Friday and Saturday, so he was likely unavailable Sunday, which allowed Brasier to get his first save opportunity. The right-hander was sharp and retired Zach Neto, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani in order. After giving up three runs in his first outing of the season, Brasier has tossed a scoreless frame in seven of his past eight appearances, recording eight strikeouts during that stretch.

Brasier allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless eighth inning to earn his first hold in Thursday's 6-3 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Brasier made his third consecutive scoreless appearance following an Opening Day meltdown, during which he allowed three runs on two hits, two walks, a hit batsman and threw a wild pitch. This was the first time a save opportunity was presented to Boston, and manager Alex Cora signaled his confidence in Brasier by using him in a setup role.
