Availability
The Red Sox optioned LHP Payton Tolle to Triple-A Worcester.
Fantasy Impact
Tolle is coming off an impressive showing in spring training to the tune of a 2.53 ERA and 13/1 K/BB ratio across 10 2/3 innings. It was Johan Oviedo and Connelly Early who made the Opening Day roster. Tolle should continue to be stretched out as a starter in Triple-A.
Payton Tolle will start on the mound for the Grapefruit League opener opener for the Boston Red Sox against the Minnesota Twins Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Tolle will receive the first opportunity to make an impression on the mound, as the left-hander is one of many competing for the No. 5 spot in the Boston rotation for manager Alex Cora this spring.
Payton Tolle made the Red Sox AL Wild Card Series roster.
Fantasy Impact
Tolle, Kyle Harrison, and Connelly Early all made the roster with Lucas Giolito (elbow) not making it. Tolle should be available out of the bullpen.
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said on Wednesday that Payton Tolle will move to the bullpen for the rest of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Tolle has struggled in three starts with the Red Sox this season, posting a 7.84 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 10.1 innings. He'll be used as a multi-inning arm out of the bullpen. Kyle Harrison will take his spot in the rotation and start on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Payton Tolle allowed two runs on three hits over two innings on Wednesday against the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Tolle had been expected to be on a pitch count as was the case. He allowed a pair of home runs. It is unclear when he'll make his next start.
