7/02/25 | Red Sox roster move: Reliever to start, Cooper Criswell appointed 27th man. Red Sox left-hander Brennan Bernardino will start Wednesday's 7:10 p.m. game here at Fenway Park. Boston also activated righty Cooper Criswell who likely will be used as the bulk reliever. The Red Sox will host the Reds again tonight after winning 5-3 in this afternoon's resumed game, which got suspended due to rain after three innings Tuesday. Bernardino has served as an opener nine other times in his career, allowing just two runs in 12 ? innings (1.42 ERA). Source: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2025/07/red-sox-ro... |

Sitting on the fringe of playoff contention, the Cards must weigh their roster priorities. With a roster blending veterans and young talent, could the Cardinals move a key reliever to address roster needs while maintaining competitiveness? Boston must be thinking of ways to reinforce its bullpen, which has been overly reliant on Brennan Bernardino and Aroldis Chapman. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cardinals/st-louis-cardinal... |
6/11/25 | Red Sox lefty went viral for 'frustration' glove throw — but he has become 'Everyday Bernie'. Since the day he made his Red Sox debut in April 2023, it has seemed like Brennan Bernardino has had a big smile on his face every step of the way. It was striking then, to see him throw his glove in a fit of a rage on Monday night at Fenway. Bernardino, after allowing two runs and two hits in relief of starter Brayan Bello in the seventh inning of Monday's loss, unleashed his glove into the clubhouse tunnel in the home dugout, then threw his hat just as hard as he left the field. It was an uncharacteristic showing from the mild-mannered Bernardino, who said he can't remember another time he reacted like that after an outing.

6/10/25 | The Red Sox rotation behind Garrett Crochet is paving a path to nowhere. The Red Sox have a clear ace and no one who has performed remotely to the level of a No. 2 (or even No. 3) starter. The inability of the starters to provide five innings on a reliable basis has put considerable stress on a bullpen that has performed admirably (3.57 ERA in the same span) but is showing cracks due to league-high usage (116 innings) over the last four weeks. Lefthander Brennan Bernardino has given up runs in all four of his June appearances. Source: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/10/sports/garr... |

Boston isn't where it wants to be. One guy who certainly has given Boston everything he possibly can this season is left-handed reliever Brennan Bernardino. There was a time in Spring Training in which it wasn't even a guarantee that he would crack the big league roster. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |
6/02/25 | Brennan Bernardino is always on call for the Red Sox, and other thoughts. “For me, it's not wasting pitches,” Bernardino said. Bernardino also has condensed his warm-up routine to six or seven pitches at times. Bernardino averages a modest 91 miles per hour with his two-seam fastball, and his 7.7 strikeouts per nine innings are the lowest of his career. “Mix pitches, keep the hitter off-balance, and play the game of baseball,” Bernardino said.

5/29/25 | Red Sox eventual bullpen depth arm has encouraging first rehab outing in 2025 return. The Boston Red Sox could use some fresh arms. It feels like Brennan Bernardino is pitching in every game, and his arm won't last if the Sox continue to lean on him so heavily. Luckily, there might be some reinforcements on the way. Kutter Crawford updates are slowly starting to creep in. Meanwhile, Zach Penrod was optioned to Triple-A and made his first appearance there Wednesday morning.

5/07/25 | Sean McAdam: As losses pile up, Red Sox stuck in ugly rut. 1) The mop-up relief duo of Brennan Bernardino and Sean Newcomb were excellent, combining for 5.2 innings of scoreless relief in the aftermath of starter Lucas Giolito's early flameout. 2) First baseman du jour Abraham Toro acquitted himself well, making all the necessary plays in the field, while contributing a single and a hard-hit lineout. Giolito was shelled for six runs on 10 hits over 3.2 innings. A week ago, making his Red Sox debut in Toronto, Giolito successfully changed speeds and worked his way through a mediocre Blue Jays lineup until he tired in his final inning of work.

The Red Sox' game against the Twins was halted in the seventh inning due to a quick-arriving storm in the area. When play stopped, the Twins were leading 4-1 and Brennan Bernardino had just gotten Carlos Correa to line out for the first out of the inning. It's unclear when play will start again.

8/21/24 | Red Sox bullpen flips script, dominates Astros in 'sink or swim' mode. As reporters approached Brennan Bernardino's locker after he delivered in a big spot for the Red Sox on Wednesday, he joked it was nice to be getting questions about a positive development after weeks of negative ones. Bernardino, who entered the day with a 9.58 second-half ERA and had been demoted to the minors, albeit briefly, last week, had the signature moment on a day when Boston's bullpen shut down Houston's offense in a big rubber game win. With manager Alex Cora limiting starter Cooper Criswell to two times through the order in 4 ? innings, the Red Sox needed 13 outs from their much-maligned bullpen. Recent call-up Greg Weissert loaded the bases, allowing two singles and a walk, before getting Alex Bregman to pop out for the second out of the inning.

6/02/24 | Alex Cora Attaches Lofty Labels To Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela. Most outfielders would not have caught the ball Wenceel Pérez laced in the sixth inning Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park. With the Red Sox leading the Tigers by two, Pérez tagged a Brennan Bernardino sinker that appeared to be ticketed for the right-center field gap. In fact, Boston manager Alex Cora believes Rafaela already is right up there with the game's best defensive outfielders. Source: https://nesn.com/2024/06/alex-cora-attaches-lofty-... |

The Twins are behind the Red Sox in many key categories of team statistics, including runs, hits, batting average, home runs, ERA, and opponent batting average. But the Twins enter Saturday's second game of a weekend series on an 11-game winning streak that has them 1.5 games out of first place in the AL Central. It is also the longest winning streak in MLB this season. The Red Sox are 3.5 games behind the first-place Orioles in the AL East. The Red Sox continue to battle the injury bug and plan to have a bullpen game on Saturday, with lefthander Brennan Bernardino starting things off. Advertisement Here's a preview.

4/28/24 | Alex Cora Explains Why Red Sox Designated Joely Rodríguez For Assignment. It was surprising when Joely Rodríguez earned a spot in the Boston Red Sox bullpen over Brennan Bernardino out of spring training. The Red Sox announced Sunday they designated the struggling left-handed relief pitcher for assignment and recalled right-handed relief pitcher Naoyuki Uwasawa from Triple-A Worcester to take Rodríguez's place on the active roster. Red Sox manager Alex Cora addressed the reasoning for the move prior to the series finale against the Chicago Cubs at Fenway Park. Source: https://nesn.com/2024/04/alex-cora-explains-why-re... |
