| Jun 18 2025 | Weissert walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his third save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three of the right-hander's saves have come since June 10, but the first two opportunities arose while Aroldis Chapman was getting a rest due to a heavy workload. That wasn't the case Wednesday -- Chapman pitched the eighth inning and faced the top of the Seattle order, while Weissert was called on the retire the 4-5-6 hitters for the M's and got the job done thanks to a double play grounder from Dominic Canzone. Weissert seems to have earned the trust of manager Alex Cora, and over his last 15.2 innings dating back to May 16, the 30-year-old reliever has a 1.72 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB with a win and eight holds in addition to his recent batch of saves. |

| Jun 15 2025 | Weissert notched a save against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits in one inning. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Primary closer Aroldis Chapman had pitched five of the previous seven days, so Red Sox manager Alex Cora held him out. That led to Weissert -- who picked up his first save of the season Tuesday -- getting his second ninth-inning opportunity of the week. The save didn't come easily, as the right-hander allowed a run before the potential tying run got to second base with two outs. However, he was able to retire Austin Wells on a flyout to end the game. There probably won't be many weeks in which Weissert gets multiple save chances, but he appears to be a trusted option on occasions when Chapman is unavailable, especially while top setup man Justin Slaten remains on the IL with a shoulder injury. |

He's now earned two holds and a save in his last three appearances and has allowed just two runs while posting an 11:2 K:BB in his last 12 innings.
