Strikes out nine in no-decision Boyle allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out nine over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Sunday.

Impact Boyle pitched fairly well, but the four walks got his pitch count up early. He exited at 93 pitches (62 strikes), and the Rays' bullpen was able to keep the lead the rest of the way. Boyle has had mixed results this year, but he's now at a 4.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 53:25 K:BB through 47 innings over 12 appearances (eight starts). He's allowed just one run over 10.1 innings in his two outings since returning to the big-league roster after a rough August. Boyle should get one more start this season, which is expected to be on the road in Toronto.

Quality start in return Boyle took a no-decision in Monday's 2-1 extra-innings loss to Toronto, allowing three hits and no walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Impact Boyle was recalled from Triple-A Durham for this start and posted arguably the best performance of his three-year career against the division-leading Blue Jays. The right-hander flamethrower generated a respectable 11 whiffs out of his 78 total pitches to notch his first quality start of the season. Across 42.2 total frames, Boyle now sports a 4.64 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB. If he remains in the rotation, his next start would line up to come against Boston at home this weekend or on the road at Baltimore early next week.

Demotion to minors now official The Rays optioned Boyle to Triple-A Durham on Friday.

Impact Boyle had yielded 16 runs (15 earned) over his last three starts and did not last longer than four innings in any of those outings. He will look to sharpen things up back at Durham and hope to get another opportunity with the Rays later this season.

Impact Boyle surrendered six runs (five earned) on nine hits and three walks over four innings in Thursday's loss to the Cardinals and has been tagged for 16 runs (15 earned) over his last three starts.

Handed third loss Boyle (1-3) allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings to take the loss versus the Cardinals on Thursday.

Boyle has allowed at least six runs three times in that span, and he's also issued three or more walks in three of those starts. For the season, the 26-year-old is at a disappointing 5.40 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB through 36.2 innings over 10 appearances (six starts). Boyle is tentatively projected to make his next start at Cleveland.
