Greg Weissert had a stellar 2025 season out of the Boston Red Sox's bullpen, going 6-6 with a 2.82 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 11 games finished in a team-high 72 appearances.

Weissert again leads the team in games pitched this season with 17, but thus far, the right-handed reliever hasn't repeated his success from 2025.

The 31-year-old Weissert allowed one run on two hits and one walk without recording an out during the Red Sox's 8-4 loss vs. the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday.

Weissert was critical of his performance following the loss.

"Yeah, it’s no secret I’m pitching like (expletive)," he said, according to a report by Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. "(Starting pitcher Jake Bennett) kept us in the game after the three-spot, and once again, I come in and blow it. Yeah, it sucks."

Weissert has posted a 5.52 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 18 strikeouts and five walks in 14 2/3 innings pitched in 2026.
