EDGE Analysis

Poyner made 33 appearances (one start) for the Red Sox across the 2018 and 2019 seasons, but he began the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Worcester. He sputtered to a 9.69 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 13 innings across eight relief appearances in the minors this year, and he'll now search for a new team going forward.

Poyner was removed from the Red Sox's 60-man roster Tuesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Poyner joined Boston's player pool Friday for developmental purposes, but he was removed after the team acquired reliever Dylan Covey from the Rays on Tuesday. Poyner has logged a 4.50 ERA and 35:8 K:BB over 34 innings in the majors during the last two seasons.
