The Colorado Rockies released right-hander Connor Seabold on Wednesday to clear a spot for a potential Rule 5 draft pick, according to a source. Seabold hasn't been any good in his three years in the majors, and that continued in 2023, as he had a rough 7.52 ERA (5.75 FIP) and 1.65 WHIP while walking 28 and striking out 67 in 87 1/3 innings over 27 appearances (13 starts) for the Rockies. The 27-year-old will hope to latch on with another team on a minor-league deal. He has an 8.12 ERA and 1.77 WHIP with 86 strikeouts in 108 2/3 career innings at the big-league level since 2021 in 33 outings (19 starts) for the Rockies and Boston Red Sox.
The Colorado Rockies have acquired right-handed pitcher Connor Seabold from the Boston Red Sox. Per a tweet from MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Tuesday, Colorado is sending a player to be named or cash considerations to the American League East club. Seabold made five starts for Boston during the 2022 season, throwing 18.1 innings in the process while logging an 11.29 ERA, a 6.39 FIP, and 19 strikeouts compared to eight walks allowed. He'll give the Rockies some additional rotation depth heading into next season. As of now, Colorado's starting pitching options include Kyle Freeland, German Marquez, Antonio Senzatela, Austin Gomber, Peter Lambert, Jose Urena, and Ryan Feltner.
The Boston Red Sox designated right-hander Connor Seabold for assignment on Thursday to make room on the 40-man roster for the recently signed Corey Kluber. In his second major-league season with the Red Sox in 2022, Seabold had a rough go of it, allowing 24 runs (23 earned) on 35 hits (five home runs) while walking eight and striking out 19 in 18 1/3 innings pitched over five starts. The 26-year-old has a 10.55 ERA (6.82 FIP), 2.25 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in his six major-league starts with Boston, but he's been much better in the minor leagues. In his last two seasons at Triple-A Worcester, Seabold has fanned 141 batters over 140 2/3 innings.
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Connor Seabold has been recalled to take the mound against the New York Yankees on Friday. He'll take the spot of Michael Wacha (shoulder) who has been placed on the 15-day injured list. The 26-year-old has been struggling during his short stints with the Red Sox this season. It's highly unlikely that Seabold has success against the Yankees powerhouse lineup. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option for Friday's game.
The Boston Red Sox have recalled right-hander Connor Seabold from Triple-A. He will be the team's starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Seabold made his first MLB start of 2022 this past Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was absolutely shelled in the outing, pitching 4 2/3 innings and allowing nine hits (including three homers), one walk and seven earned runs. On the bright side, he managed to record seven strikeouts. The 26-year-old has pitched well at Triple-A this year, going 5-1 with a 2.09 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. We'll see if he can have better luck in a more favorable matchup against the Cubs on Sunday.
The Boston Red Sox have called up right-hander Connor Seabold from Triple-A. He will be the team's starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 26-year-old has had a nice season at Triple-A. Over 11 starts, he's gone 5-1 with a 2.09 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP while averaging 8.9 K/9. He made the first start of his MLB career last September and lasted just three innings while allowing three hits, two walks and two earned runs. Monday's start may just be a spot start for him, but he could wind up making another start if the team's rotation continues to battle injuries.
Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Connor Seabold (chest) was scratched from his start at Triple-A on Friday. He has been shut down from throwing due to a pectoral injury. However, Red Sox manager Alex Cora stated that the team doesn't think the injury is serious. The 26-year-old is ranked as the team's 14th overall prospect by MLB Pipeline. He made his MLB debut last year, appearing in just one game. This year at Triple-A, he's gone 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP over seven starts.
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Connor Seabold made his major league debut Saturday, and while he only lasted three innings, he was decently effective. Seabold allowed two runs on three hits and two walks. He did not strike out a batter. Manager Alex Cora didn't ask much of Seabold against the White Sox, but perhaps he'll have a longer leash in the event of another start as the bullpen was far less steady. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't be anywhere near Seabold this season, even if he gets another opportunity.
Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Connor Seabold has been recalled to the major league roster. He'll make his MLB debut on Saturday against the White Sox. A former third-round pick of the Phillies, Seabold was dealt to Boston at the 2020 trade deadline. He went 2-3 with a 3.67 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and .201 OBA through eight outings at Triple-A this season. The right-hander, who ranks 13th on MLB Pipeline's list of Red Sox prospects, offers a mid-90s fastball and effective changeup that features late fade. He has also thrown his slider and curveball effectively.
