Pitching coach Dave Bush said Wednesday that Brasier has still not cleared concussion protocols after being hit in the head June 4, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brasier resumed baseball activities in late June, but per Bush, he's yet to throw off a mound as he continues to be monitored for his concussion. It sounds like he'll be limited to ground work until he's officially out of the concussion protocol, which means he's likely multiple weeks to a month from being able to return to the Boston bullpen.

Brasier (concussion) was cleared to play catch and resume baseball activities Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brasier has been on the injured list since late March due to a calf strain, but he was shut down in early June and diagnosed with a concussion after he was hit in the side of the head by a line drive during a simulated game. The right-hander had been nearing his return to Boston's bullpen prior to his three-week shutdown, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action at this point.

Manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Brasier will go on a rehab assignment "sooner rather than later" now that he's progressed to facing hitters. The right-hander has been on the injured list since the start of the regular season but is expected to work in a setup role for the Red Sox once he's cleared to return to the big-league club.

Before heading out on a rehab assignment, Cora said Brasier will first need to face hitters in live batting practice "a few times."

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox transferred Brasier (calf) to the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Brandon Brennan, who was claimed off waivers from Seattle and optioned to Triple-A Worcester. Brasier picked up a calf strain late in spring training and recently began a throwing program, but he's not on track to complete his progression until the second half of the month. He should be ready to go around the time he's first eligible to return from the 60-day IL in early June.
