Red Sox's Kaleb Ort: Faulty support
Rotowire
Ort allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over one inning during Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh.
Ort was partially victimized by shoddy fielding. He allowed a leadoff double to Jason Delay, who eventually scored on a sacrifice fly that wouldn't have happened without the fielding miscues. In between, there was a poor decision by first baseman Triston Casas, and another one by outfielder Masataka Yoshida which was compounded by third baseman Rafael Devers failing to cut off a misguided throw to plate. Ort's allowed four runs over five innings for a 7.20 ERA, which is an improvement on his spring ERA of 9.58.

Red Sox's Kaleb Ort: Underwhelming spring
Rotowire
Ort has allowed eight runs on 13 hits and seven walks while striking out seven over 8.1 spring innings.
The Red Sox have stuck by Ort, keeping him on the 40-man roster over winter while jettisoning other pieces. The hard-throwing right-hander could be in jeopardy of being designated for assignment, which would open up a spot for Raimel Tapia or Jorge Alfaro, two non-roster invitees that have raked this spring and have opt-outs.
Ort (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Ort was unavailable for Friday's series opener in Toronto due to his vaccination status, but he'll rejoin Boston's bullpen now that Canada no longer has a vaccine requirement for visitors. Over his last five appearances, the right-hander has posted a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in four innings.

Red Sox's Kaleb Ort: Earns first career save
Rotowire
Ort allowed one hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against Baltimore.
Ort successfully worked around a two-out single to maintain a two-run lead and tally his first career save. He's had a few stints with the Red Sox this season, with his most recent beginning Aug 29. In 12.1 innings since, Ort has maintained a 2.92 ERA with a 14:8 K:BB. It's unclear whether he will get more save chances prior to the close of the campaign, but it is worth noting that Matt Barnes was likely unavailable after throwing in Boston's previous two games.

Red Sox's Kaleb Ort: Sent back to Worcester
Rotowire
Ort was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
The right-hander joined the Red Sox last Friday, but he did not make an appearance during his four games with the club. Martin Perez's (illness) return from the COVID-19 IL pushes him back to Worcester for the time being, but he could rejoin the big-league roster should Boston need to add an arm during the final three weeks of the regular season.
