BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox reinstated left-handed pitcher Richard Bleier from the 15-Day Injured List. To make room for Bleier, the club designated right-handed pitcher Jake Faria for assignment. The Red Sox’ 40-man roster is now at 39.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

Bleier, 36, was placed on the Injured List on May 22 due to left shoulder inflammation. The left-hander made four rehab appearances with Worcester (three games) and Double-A Portland (one), throwing 4.2 scoreless innings with five strikeouts and two hits allowed.

Bleier is 1-0 with a 5.85 ERA (13 ER/20.0 IP) in 19 relief appearances for the Red Sox this season. Acquired by Boston on January 30, 2023, he owns a 3.24 ERA (115 ER/319.2 IP) in 327 career appearances (two starts) with the New York Yankees (2016), Baltimore Orioles (2017-20), Miami Marlins (2020-22), and Red Sox (2023).

Faria, 29, allowed five runs over 2.0 innings in yesterday’s game against the Chicago Cubs. He has pitched in 19 games (nine starts) for Triple-A Worcester this season, posting a 6.47 ERA (40 ER/55.2 IP). The California native owns a 4.87 ERA (111 ER/205.0 IP) in 73 career Major League games (29 starts) for the Tampa Bay Rays (2017-19), Milwaukee Brewers (2019), Arizona Diamondbacks (2021), and Red Sox (2023).
