In 101 regular season outings with the Red Sox (96 starts), Price is 46-23 (.667) with a 3.76 ERA (244 ER/583.1 IP). He also earned three wins in the 2018 Postseason, including in the clinching games of the American League Championship Series and World Series.

Weber, 28, has appeared in eight games (three starts) with Boston this season, going 1-1 with a 5.25 ERA (14 ER/24.0 IP). The right-hander has also made 13 starts with Pawtucket, and in his last six he has posted a 1.64 ERA (6 ER/33.0 IP).

Brewer has held major league left-handed hitters to a .233 batting average (17-for-73) and a .711 OPS this season, having allowed only five extra-base hits. Originally selected by Pittsburgh in the 2011 June Draft, he was acquired by Boston from San Diego in November 2018.

He has also hit .333 (37-for-111) in 29 games for Pawtucket this season, adding 10 doubles and two home runs.
