Berríos could have been pulled up 3-2 after six innings, but he was left in to start the seventh and gave up a homer to Ben Williamson before being removed. That his pitch count was so low likely factored into him remaining in the game — he wound up at 82 on the day — but he was far from dominant in striking out three and walking four. He’s 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA through five starts, and he doesn’t rate as a very good play against the Yankees next week.

Berríos did strike out six and walk one, but he got a friendly zone from the home plate umpire, who granted two called strike punchouts against Jordan Westburg on pitches that were clearly balls. Berríos gave up a run in each of his first four innings and will now take a 5.16 ERA into a start against Seattle next week. He should be treated as just a streamer at this point in his career.

Berríos and everyone else to take the mound in Fenway tonight did so with diminished velocity on a cold evening, but it turned out that the bats were mostly cold, too. Berrios got 21 outs despite inducing just two missed sings all night. He walked three but gave up just four hits for six total bases. Berríos will bring a 1-1 record and a 4.58 ERA into his fourth start versus the Blue Jays.

Berríos was originally slated to take the ball on Tuesday, but he’s been moved up to take the ball in place of Easton Lucas for Monday’s series opener at Fenway Park. The 30-year-old righty bounced back from a rough Opening Day outing by striking out eight over 5 2/3 innings last week against the Nationals. He’s facing a red-hot Boston lineup, but the fact that it’s now a two-start week for fantasy managers has to be considered a positive development.
