Boxberger garnered his third hold of the season in Sunday's 8-4 victory over the Rangers, firing 1.1 innings of scoreless, one-hit ball. He also recorded a strikeout.
The former closer continues to thrive in his new set-up role, firing 18 of his 29 pitches for strikes Sunday and posting his eighth straight scoreless appearance. Boxberger has tallied eight scoreless innings since his latest DL stint and appears to finally be hitting a stride in his first stretch of extended action in 2016. While he doesn't appear to have any chance of reclaiming his former closer's role from Alex Colome during the last several weeks of the season, the 28-year-old may have an opportunity to start with a clean slate and bill of health heading into 2017.
