BOSTON, MA – The Boston Red Sox today placed right-handed pitcher Colten Brewer on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to September 1) with a right third finger strain. To fill Brewer’s spot on the active roster, the Red Sox recalled right-handed pitcher Marcus Walden from the Alternate Training Site.
Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.
Brewer, 27, is 0-3 with a 5.61 ERA (16 ER/25.2 IP) in 11 appearances for Boston this season, including the first four starts of his major league career. In 80 career major league outings with the San Diego Padres (2018) and Red Sox (2019-20), the right-hander has posted a 4.70 ERA (47 ER/90.0 IP) with 87 strikeouts.
Walden, 31, made the Red Sox’ Opening Day roster and appeared in nine games with the club before being optioned on August 19. He has allowed 12 runs in 9.0 innings this season, with six of those runs coming on August 13 against the Tampa Bay Rays. Walden made his major league debut in 2018 with Boston and earned the 2019 Unsung Hero Award from the Boston Baseball Writers.
