Marcus Walden News
Boston Red Sox reliever Marcus Walden was optioned to the team's alternate training site on Wednesday afternoon. The 31-year-old was abysmal to start the 2020 season, allowing 12 runs across nine innings of work. The Red Sox own the worst team ERA in all of baseball, and Walden played a part in that dishonor. He is off the fantasy radar for the rest of the season. Infielder Christian Arroyo was activated off of the injured list as a corresponding move.
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Marcus Walden struck out the side in his ninth inning appearance during an 8-5 loss to Tampa Bay on Wednesday. The right-hander had allowed one run in each of his previous two outings, so he got back on track against Tampa Bay. He registered a save on July 23, just his second of the year so it seems his role is still relegated to middle relief and mop up duty. Eventually Nathan Eovaldi is supposed to assume the closer duties, along with Brandon Workman, so Walden doesn't hold any fantasy value except in league's that value holds.
Boston Red Sox reliever Marcus Walden recorded just one out in four batters faced in the seventh inning of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. Walden served up two solo home runs and a single before being replaced by Colten Brewer. Over the past week, Walden has thrown four complete innings, allowing three earned runs, all on solo home runs, while striking out just three and walking one. The 30-year-old had allowed just two home runs prior to June 3, so giving up three in a week isn't a bid of confidence for manager Alex Cora to trust him in high-leverage situations. This Boston bullpen is as volatile as it gets right now, so stay away from Walden in any format for the considerable time being.
