Weber will receive the starting nod for Thursday's game against the Royals, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, Weber will stick in the rotation for at least one more turn despite being lit up for seven runs in four innings in his previous outing May 29 against the Indians. Weber is expected to move back into a long-relief role or head back to Triple-A Pawtucket once Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) is ready to return from the 10-day injured list, likely around mid-June.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like the Red Sox will stick with Weber for at least one more turn through the rotation despite his struggles last time out -- the right-hander allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two in four innings of work. Mike Shawaryn will be available as a long reliever behind Weber in case he struggles again.

Weber (1-1) allowed seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two across four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Weber never got comfortable in this start, surrendering at least one earned run in each inning. While he only allowed one home run, he allowed a total of six extra-base hits that accounted for much of the damage. Weber had pitched admirably prior to Wednesday's start, carrying a 1.29 ERA into the contest, though much of that work came out of the bullpen. With this performance, the team could decide to turn back to Hector Velazquez as its fifth starter until Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) is ready to return to the mound. Regardless, with an upcoming day off Monday, the Red Sox will be able to skip their fifth starter for at least one turn through the rotation.

Weber will start Wednesday's game against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox have mostly leaned on Hector Velazquez as their fifth starter since Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) has been sidelined, but Weber received a look in the rotation last week against the Blue Jays and performed well enough to earn at least one more turn. In that outing in Toronto, Weber worked six innings, giving up one run on three hits and no walks while striking out four. He'll get another favorable draw Wednesday versus a Cleveland offense that ranks 26th out of 30 teams against right-handed pitching with a 79 wRC+.

Weber (1-0) tossed six one-run innings while earning the win Thursday against the Blue Jays, allowing three hits with four strikeouts and no walks.

EDGE Analysis

Weber seemed to keep the home team off balance during much of his outing as he drew 21 called strikes. The lone damaging blow against him came on a third-inning rally, but he escaped and easily came away with a quality start. Weber seems poised to make at least one more start, which should come next week against Cleveland.

Weber will start Thursday's game in Toronto, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it is a favorable matchup, Weber had a 5.04 ERA and 18:5 K:BB in 25 innings as a starter at Triple-A this season, so he is hardly an appealing streamer in fantasy leagues. Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) is at least a couple weeks away from returning to the big-league rotation, so Weber could make a few MLB starts if he can keep his head above water.

Weber could make a spot start Thursday in Toronto, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nathan Eovalid (elbow) is at least a couple weeks away from returning to the rotation, so Boston will be forced to use less-than-stellar options in that rotation spot in the short term. The other option is Hector Velazquez, who has a 6.41 ERA in 19.2 innings as a starter this season. Weber had a 5.04 ERA and 18:5 K:BB in 25 innings as a starter at Triple-A this season, so he isn't an ideal option either.

Weber is being considered to make a spot start next Sunday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. The newly added right-hander hurled four scoreless innings in Monday's 4-1 loss to Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Weber started the day in Rhode Island, flew to Baltimore after his contract was selected, then had a bullpen-saving performance Monday night when starter Josh A. Smith was gone after 3.1 innings. He featured a slider, cutter and changeup Monday, giving batters a different look than they typically see in the majors. "It's not like the radar gun isn't going to get your eye," manager Alex Cora said, "but the movement will be there." The Red Sox are navigating a rotation that doesn't have David Price (elbow) or Nathan Eovaldi (elbow), so Weber becomes an intriguing option for the manager. Both Weber and Smith are being considered for next Sunday's start against the Mariners.

Weber's contract was selected from Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Weber has a career 5.01 ERA in 73.2 major-league innings. His ERA sits at 5.04 through five starts for Pawtucket this season. He's up to replace David Price, who landed on the injured list with elbow tendinitis. It's not clear if he'll be taking his rotation spot in addition to his roster spot, as the Red Sox have three off days in the next 11 days and won't need a fifth starter in the near future.

Weber was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weber allowed three runs in nine innings of work this spring. He's not on the 40-man roster but could still be an option when injuries strike the big-league pitching staff.
