Fantasy Impact:

Boston's bullpen has struggled badly this season. Both Ryan Brasier and Matt Barnes have failed to seize the role. Meanwhile Eovalid was fantastic out of the bullpen in the playoffs last year, and bringing him back as a reliever would expedite his recovery time. It's a bit of an unorthodox move by the Red Sox but fantasy teams in need of saves should stash Eovaldi right now.
