"Manager Kevin Cash stated that Boyle's MRI revealed a right elbow strain and some inflammation, but there was no structural damage. The plan is to shut him down from throwing for a week, hoping they caught it early enough to start building back up."
"Boyle himself mentioned he is not too worried about his elbow strain, noting he felt discomfort the day after his last start, which was not the cause of his rough outing against the Cubs."
"Boyle's season statistics include a 5.17 ERA, a 24.2% strikeout rate, and a 9.2% walk rate over three starts. His numbers are similar to his previous seasons, with a notable improvement in walk rate."
"Despite a decrease in velocity to 97.1 mph, which was previously 98.5 mph in 2025, this change may be related to early-season adjustments. There is a belief that Boyle could excel in a bullpen role, but the Rays want to fully explore his potential as a starter."
