Rotowire
Weissert will make the 2024 Opening Day roster, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Throws scoreless frame
Rotowire
Weissert struck out one over a hitless and scoreless relief inning in Wednesday's spring game against the Yankees.
Weissert, who was acquired from the Yankees in the Alex Verdugo trade, has allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.2 Grapefruit League innings. There are few moving parts as the Red Sox evaluate bullpen arms, and Weissert appears to be on the bubble at this stage. He was added to the bullpen in a roster projection compiled by Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald, who noted Zack Kelly, Chris Murphy, Joe Jacques, Joely Rodriguez and Lucas Luetge as possibilities.
The Yankees traded Weissert to the Red Sox on Tuesday alongside Richard Fitts and Nicholas Judice in exchange for Alex Verdugo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Weissert logged a 4.05 ERA and 1.45 WHIP through 20 innings with the Yankees last season, and he'll now switch sides in one of the most intense rivalries in baseball. As part of one of one of the best bullpens in the majors in 2023, Weissert managed just two holds in 17 appearances. Now with Boston, he may receive more late-game opportunities with a bullpen that ranked closer to the bottom of the AL in ERA last year (4.32).
