Goes five scoreless in no-decision Boyle did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out two.

Impact It was a strong rebound effort from Boyle, after he gave up six runs (four earned) in just 3.1 innings his last time out against the Yankees. Overall, the 6-foot-8 Boyle has impressed early in his big-league career, posting a 2.30 ERA with a 0.88 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB through his first 27.1 innings. He'll remain in the rotation going forward after the Rays traded away Zack Littell and Taj Bradley at the deadline. Boyle is currently scheduled to face the Mariners on the road in his next outing.

Sticking in rotation Boyle is slated to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers in Tampa.

Impact After Tampa Bay optioned right-hander Taj Bradley to Triple-A Durham last week, Boyle stepped into the open spot in the rotation and made his second start of the season for the big club in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees. Despite being roughed up from six runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks over 3.1 frames, Boyle still owns sparkling ratios (2.82 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 24:9 K:BB in 22.1 innings) at the big-league level this season and appears to have gained some security in the Tampa Bay rotation in the aftermath of Thursday's trade deadline. The Rays acquired right-hander Adrian Houser but shipped out two other starters in Bradley (Twins) and righty Zack Littell (Reds).

Chased early in loss Boyle (1-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing six runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out six in 3.1 innings.

Impact Boyle faced minimal trouble through the first two frames and showcased his high strikeout upside by striking out the side in the second. Things fell apart from there, as Boyle went on to give up six runs while only getting four more outs, which was highlighted by a Cody Bellinger three-run blast in the third. Boyle shaky command resurfaced with three walks, but he'd shown improved ability to find the strike zone coming into Tuesday with just six walks in 19 innings. He'll look to rebound at home over the weekend when the Dodgers come to town.

JULY 30, 2025 • Associated Press

Joining rotation Tuesday Boyle is listed as the Rays' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Yankees in New York.

Impact As anticipated, Boyle will be moved from the bullpen to fill the spot in the rotation that opened up when Taj Bradley was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Thursday. Over 15 appearances (14 starts) in the minors this season, Boyle had been one of Triple-A's top hurlers with a 1.73 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB in 73 innings, and he's carried that success over to his two stints in the majors. In his five appearances (one start) with Tampa Bay, Boyle has spun a 1.42 ERA and 0.63 WHIP while punching out 18 batters over 19 innings. He made a five-inning appearance as recently as July 6, so he should be capable of working deep enough into Tuesday's start to qualify for a win. Given the sterling ratios he's turned in at both the Triple-A level and the majors this season, Boyle looks worthy of rostering in just about any fantasy league now that he's seemingly in line for an extended stay in the Tampa Bay rotation.

Rays option Taj Bradley to Triple-A Durham after poor start

The Tampa Bay Rays have optioned right-hander Taj Bradley to Triple-A Durham following his poor start in an 11-9 loss to the Chicago White Sox

JULY 24, 2025 • Associated Press

Slated for multi-inning relief role Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Thursday that Boyle will open the second half in a multi-inning relief role, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Boyle served in a piggyback role with Drew Rasmussen in his two appearances with the big club this month, throwing a total of nine innings while yielding three runs (two earned) with an 8:3 K:BB. Neander mentioned Thursday that Boyle would be used for 2-to-3 innings at a time moving forward, which severely limits his fantasy outlook, should he remain in that role. However, there remains a good chance the righty will eventually find his way into the Rays' rotation, whether it be due to injury or trade of another starter. Boyle boasts a 1.29 ERA and 15:5 K:BB over 14 major-league innings in 2025 and has collected a 1.85 ERA and 96:31 K:BB across 73 frames at Triple-A Durham.

Work behind Rasmussen on Friday Boyle struck out one batter and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks over four innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact For his second appearance in a row since being called up from Triple-A Durham on July 6, Boyle was once again used as part of a tandem with starter Drew Rasmussen, who covered the first two innings of the game. The Rays have made it clear that they intend to limit Rasmussen to around 150 innings this season since he's just two years removed from undergoing the third major elbow operation of his career, and Boyle is expected to piggyback the right-hander for at least a few more turns through the rotation coming out of the All-Star break. While his results Friday were unremarkable, Boyle has delivered excellent ratios overall between his stops in the majors and at Durham this season, and he should have improved odds of earning wins while the Rays deploy him in bulk relief rather than a traditional starting role. Tampa Bay is listing Rasmussen as its starter for its fifth game of the second half July 22 versus the White Sox, so Boyle's next appearance will presumably come that same day.

Will stay in tandem with Rasmussen Rays manager Kevin Cash suggested after Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Twins that he intends to have Boyle piggyback Drew Rasmussen for at least a few more turns through th...

Impact Though Rasmussen has moved back into a full-time starting role in 2025 after undergoing the third major elbow surgery of his career in July 2023, the Rays are aiming to limit him to around 150 innings this season. Just over halfway into the campaign, Rasmussen has already compiled 89.1 innings, so the Rays will stick to their plan of managing his workload so that he can be available in some capacity through the rest of the regular season and potentially into the playoffs. The Rays took the first step in curtailing Rasmussen's workload Sunday, when Boyle was called up from Triple-A Durham to pitch in bulk relief behind him. After Rasmussen covered the first two frames, Boyle stepped in and covered the next five innings, striking out seven batters while allowing an unearned run on two hits and one walk. Cash didn't go into specifics regarding how long past the All-Star break the Rasmussen/Boyle pairing might be used or whether Rasmussen would continue to be capped at around two innings, but for fantasy purposes, the arrangement is certainly more favorable to Boyle than Rasmussen. By continuing to work in bulk relief on the days he pitches, Boyle will be the Rays hurler most likely to factor into any decision. In addition to the increased win potential, Boyle looks like he could make a major impact for fantasy managers in the ratio categories. He's submitted a 1.85 ERA and 22.3 K-BB% over 73 innings at Durham this season, and he's maintained that dominance through his two appearances with the Rays thus far, turning in a 0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB through 10 frames.

Piggybacks Rasmussen on Sunday Boyle struck out seven and allowed one unearned run on two hits and one walk over five innings of relief in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Impact Called up earlier in the day after delivering a 1.73 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB in 73 innings with Triple-A Durham on the season, Boyle wasn't immediately inserted into the Tampa Bay rotation. Instead, manager Kevin Cash essentially deployed Boyle as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind right-hander Drew Rasmussen, who was limited to two innings as an opener. Considering Rasmussen underwent an internal brace procedure -- the third major elbow surgery of his career -- in July 2023 and is already up to 89.1 innings on the season, the Rays could look to manage his workload in the short term by deploying him in tandem with Boyle. Even though Boyle's role is somewhat in flux at the moment, the dominance he's displayed in the minors and in his two appearances (one start) in the big leagues (0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 14 strikeouts in 10 innings) makes him worthy of picking up in most leagues where he's available.
