Boyle

Boyle, 29, had been in the Yankees system ever since being drafted in 2018. He spent most of last season in their Triple-A rotation, going 9-9 with a 4.61 ERA and a 120/51 K/BB in 134 2/3 innings. His lack of velocity has held him back, but with plus command and a nice slider, he could prove serviceable in middle relief if he ever gets the chance.

Boyle returned from Tommy John surgery as a reliever in the second half of last season, but it looks like he’s going back to starting now. The 2018 25th-round pick is 28 years old, but he’s typically posted excellent K/BB ratios in the minors and he looked rather interesting in 2022 before going down early the following season. He might surface in the majors at some point.
