Joe Boyle

The Rays have reassigned right-hander Joe Boyle to minor league camp.

Fantasy Impact

Boyle was competing for a spot in the Rays' bullpen this spring, and allowed seven runs (four earned) with 16 strikeouts and eight walks across 9 2/3 innings of work prior to Friday's move. The 26-year-old owns a 4.98 ERA across 29 outings (22 starts) in his big league career and should see action with the Rays at some point this season.

Joe Boyle allowed four earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

The right-hander continues a disappointing stretch on the mound, allowing four or more runs in four of his last six starts for the Rays. After yesterday’s outing, Boyle now holds a 4.67 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 1-4 record across nine starts this season.

The Tampa Bay Rays recalled Joe Boyle from Triple-A Durham to start Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

In 10 outings, including six starts with the Rays this season, Boyle has struggled, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. This will likely be a spot start, as Ryan Pepiot (fatigue) is feeling better and will be returning to the rotation on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, Garrett Acton was optioned to Triple-A.

The Rays optioned RHP Joe Boyle to Triple-A Durham.

Fantasy Impact

It is a bit of a surprising move after Boyle struggled in his latest start. He should be back up again at some point.

Joe Boyle allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits over four innings in a loss on Thursday against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Boyle added five strikeouts and three walks. He was hit hard in the second inning for five runs to lead to his poor start.
