• Rays' Joe Boyle: Yields four runs in loss

  09/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Boyle (1-4) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five across five innings. Boyle had given up just one earned run over his previous two starts, but he couldn't carry that momentum into Saturday's AL East clash. He generated 15 whiffs on 92 pitches but couldn't avoid the loss as the Rays were limited to just one run. Boyle appeared in 13 games (nine starts) for the Rays in 2025 and will end the season with a 4.67 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 58:28 K:BB across 52 innings.

  09/22/2025 • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Rays' Joe Boyle: Awarded another start

  09/21/2025 • By RotoWire

  Boyle is slated to start Sunday's game against the Red Sox in Tampa. After officially being eliminated from playoff contention Friday, the Rays appear set to finish out the season with a six-man rotation that includes Boyle. The Rays recalled the right-hander from Triple-A Durham on Monday, and he fared well in his start against the Blue Jays later that day, taking a no-decision while striking out five over six shutout innings. For the season, Boyle owns a 4.64 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB in 42.2 innings over 11 appearances (seven starts) for Tampa Bay.

• Rays' Joe Boyle: Quality start in return

  09/16/2025 • By RotoWire

  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. 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-handed 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 either come against Boston at home this weekend or on the road at Baltimore early next week.

• Rays' Joe Boyle: Will be optioned back to minors

  08/22/2025 • By RotoWire

  Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Friday that Boyle will be optioned to Triple-A Durham, Tom Krasniqi of 95.3 WDAE reports. 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. The right-hander has dominated at Durham this season (1.73 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB in 73 innings) and shown flashes at the major-league level, but Boyle is still looking for more consistency.
