Despite a rocky season with a 6.08 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP, this outing was a step in the right direction. Boyle's ability to limit hits was a highlight, though his control issues persisted with four walks. His season-long strikeout rate remains decent at 9.5 K/9, suggesting he can be a valuable asset in fantasy leagues that heavily reward strikeouts. However, his high ERA and WHIP make him a risky play.

Joe Boyle endured another tough outing, allowing two earned runs on three hits and four walks while striking out six over three innings in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Boyle's inability to pitch deep into games continues to be a glaring issue, as evidenced by his early exit after just 85 pitches. With a ballooning ERA of 7.06 and a WHIP of 1.80 through his first five starts, his fantasy relevance is becoming increasingly questionable.

Joe Boyle struggled mightily in Friday's 10-2 loss to the Guardians, allowing seven earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over six innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing inflates his already concerning ERA to 7.23 and WHIP to 1.71 for the season, signaling ongoing issues with command and control. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.7 K/9, his high BABIP of .359 suggests some bad luck, but the consistent yielding of walks and runs points to deeper performance issues. Fantasy managers should view Boyle as a risky play, considering his volatility and the lack of positive trends in his starts this season.
