Brent Honeywell Jr. Stats

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Brent Honeywell Jr. was optioned back to Triple-A following Saturday's game, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. He was recalled from Triple-A on Friday, but now will return to the minors without making an appearance as the team intends to activate Michael Wacha off the injured list on Sunday. In three appearances this season, Honeywell has an 8.31 ERA with four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings of work. Managers shouldn't expect much value out of Honeywell this year, but he could be a solid pitcher to roster in 2022.

The Tampa Bay Rays recalled pitcher Brent Honeywell Jr. from Triple-A Durham on Friday. Honeywell made three appearances (including two starts as an opener) for the Rays this year before being sent down. He pitched 4.1 innings and allowed five hits, three walks and four earned runs while striking out four. Over two games and three innings at Triple-A this year, Honeywell allowed no hits, no walks and no runs while recording three strikeouts. It's unclear at this point what the Rays' plans are with their former top prospect. He could be used as an opener in the coming week or he could just work in short relief.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Brent Honeywell Jr. was sent back down to the team's alternate site after getting the start as the opener in Saturday's win over Toronto, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Honeywell allowed three runs on three hits and one walk with two strikeouts in one inning of work. Over three appearances now, Honeywell has an 8.31 ERA with four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings of work. His value this year was always going to be very limited after three years away from the mound due to injury, but managers should watch how he pitches this season, as he could be a solid strikeout sleeper in 2022.
