Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Brandon Workman pitched a perfect inning in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Dodgers. The 30-year-old needed just 16 pitches to punch out all three hitters he faced. Workman has allowed just two runs in his last 16 2/3 innings of work. He's 8-1 on the year with a 1.74 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 41 1/2 innings. Matt Barnes also worked a scoreless inning on Sunday, despite giving up a base hit. It marked his fourth consecutive scoreless appearance after capping off a dreadful June where he allowed 14 earned runs. Boston has continued to utilize a closer-by-committee between Workman, Barnes, and Ryan Brasier, however, it hasn't proved effective. Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) should return from the injured list around the end of July, at which time he is supposed to take over as the Red Sox closer. He can be added if you're in desperate need for saves, while the other three will only hold value in leagues where the "Hold" is counted.--Steve Janik - RotoBaller

Veteran relief pitcher Matt Barnes threw for a group of MLB scouts last week, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. A hip injury cost Barnes the second half of his 2023 season, holding him to just 24 appearances with the Miami Marlins. He maintained a 4.15 FIP, 8.44 K/9, and 4.22 BB/9 while inducing a 49.3 GB%. Prior to last season, Barnes had been a staple of the Red Sox' bullpen. He recorded 24 saves back in 2021. The 33-year-old righty will presumably have to settle for a minor league deal but could compete for a roster spot during Spring Training.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller

Miami Marlins right-hander Matt Barnes (hip) was moved to the 60-day injured list on Friday to make room for new reliever David Robertson, who the team acquired in a trade with the New York Mets. Barnes had left hip femoral acetabular impingement surgery on Tuesday and remains at home in Connecticut. He will do at-home rest and therapy for two to three weeks, and the recovery timeline before he can resume baseball activities is three months. Barnes' 2023 season is essentially over unless the Fish make a deep postseason run. The 33-year-old initially slipped on the mound in the middle of may against the San Francisco Giants when he suffered his hip impingement. He had a 5.48 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 20 K's in 21 1/3 innings at the time of his injury.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Matt Barnes (hip) played catch on Monday in Miami and will be re-evaluated. He slipped on the mound in the middle of May in San Francisco, which led to his left-hip impingement. Barnes played through the injury, but it bothered him off and on for the next 10 days before he and the training staff decided he needed to take some time off to heal. The 33-year-old is slowly recovering, but he'll most likely need at least a couple minor-league rehab appearances before the Marlins decide to reinstate him from the injured list. Barnes currently has a 5.48 ERA (4.17 FIP), 1.64 WHIP, 10 walks and 20 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings over 24 outings (one start) in his first year with the Fish in 2023.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Boston Red Sox and Miami Marlins have reportedly made a deal, per a tweet from The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal on Monday morning. According to Rosenthal's tweet, Boston is trading reliever Matt Barnes to Miami for fellow relief pitcher Richard Bleier. Barnes pitched to a 4.31 ERA, a 3.87 FIP, 34 strikeouts, and 21 walks in 39.2 innings for Boston last season while adding eight saves and four holds. Bleier, meanwhile, turned in a 3.55 ERA and a 3.27 FIP in 50.2 innings for the Marlins, while adding 32 strikeouts, 10 walks, seven holds and a save. Of the duo, Barnes likely has more potential for save opportunities this coming season in Miami than Bleier does in Boston given Kenley Jansen's presence at the back end of the Red Sox bullpen.--Ben Rosener - RotoBaller
