Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes will get a couple of days off, manager Alex Cora told the press on Wednesday. The 33-year-old closer capped off a tough stretch of games by taking the loss on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing four runs on two hits and two walks in two-thirds of an inning. Cora said he doesn't expect Barnes to be out for long or for him to lose the closing job, so fantasy managers should consider benching him until he gets back on track.--Chelena Goldman

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
