BOSTON — Austin Brice (right lat strain) and Andrew Triggs (right radial nerve irritation) both threw bullpens prior to Sunday’s game and could rejoin the Red Sox inside the final week.

Brice and Triggs are two of several Boston pitchers currently on the injured list. Darwinzon Hernandez was activated prior to Friday night’s game against the Yankees. Zack Godley (right elbow flexor strain) has been transferred to the 45-day IL and will not pitch again in 2020.

Josh Taylor also played catch in right field prior to the game. He’s battling left shoulder tendinitis and might be done for the year. Taylor’s season debut was delayed while recovering from COVID-19, and he’s not one of the pitchers the Red Sox need to evaluate for a possible roster spot going forward.

“We’ve talked before about how important it is for some guys to come back and pitch,” Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said. “Really, Josh is one of the guys where I don’t think it’s that important for him to come back and throw.

“If it’s important to him, that’s different. We’ll make sure we continue to talk to him on the medical side and see what’s best for him.”
