Robert Harris: Everything you need to know

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Harris has been shut down due to forearm tightness, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. It's unclear when the injury first cropped up, but it effectively ends Harris' long shot bid for a spot on Boston's Opening Day roster. The right-hander held a 4.15 ERA and 43:21 K:BB across 39.0 innings with Triple-A Worcester in 2025.

Harris agreed to a minor-league contract with Boston on Monday, independent journalist Ari Alexander reports. The contract includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Harris spent his 2025 campaign stationed at Triple-A Worcester, compiling a 4.15 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with a 43:21 K:BB across 39.0 innings. He'll get a chance to compete against big-league talent during spring camp but hasn't made a major-league appearance since the 2023 season while with Washington.

Harris signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Harris spent the entire 2024 campaign with the Twins' Triple-A affiliate, where he logged a 6.41 ERA and 1.83 WHIP over 53.1 innings. The 31-year-old reliever will now help add to the bullpen depth at Triple-A Syracuse, but his chances of making any sort of impact with the Mets in 2025 are extremely slim.
