June 15, 2025 3:17 AM : Weissert notched a save against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits in one inning.
Analysis: Primary closer Aroldis Chapman had pitched five of the previous seven days coming into Saturday, so Red Sox manager Alex Cora decided to make him unavailable. That led to Weissert -- who picked up his first save of the season Tuesday -- getting his second ninth-inning opportunity of the week. The save didn't come easy, as the right-hander allowed a run and then allowed the potential tying run to reach second base with two outs. However, Weissert was able to retire Austin Wells on a flyout to end the game. There probably won't be many (if any) weeks moving forward when Weissert gets multiple save chances, but he appears to be a trusted option on occasions when Chapman is down, especially while top setup man Justin Slaten remains on the IL with a shoulder injury.
