Seabold has allowed one earned run across seven innings while striking out seven and walking none during three Cactus League appearances.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold hasn't started a game, but he has worked multiple innings in each of his three appearances during the exhibition season. The Rockies haven't made their plans for Seabold clear at this point, though it appears he'll occupy a multi-inning role regardless of whether it comes as a starter or reliever. Colorado acquired him from the Red Sox this offseason, after he posted an 11.29 ERA and 2.35 WHIP across 18.1 innings with Boston in 2022.

Seabold was traded from the Red Sox to the Rockies on Tuesday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold made five starts for Boston last season, struggling to a 11.29 ERA and 2.35 WHIP. A .476 BABIP undoubtedly inflated his numbers, but he also gave up five homers in 18.1 innings, something his 29.4 percent groundball rate indicates could be a persistent problem. While there may be fewer obstacles between him and a rotation role in his new home, a move to the league's most hitter-friendly park hardly enhances the righty's fantasy appeal.

Seabold was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Corey Kluber. Seabold has been blasted for a 10.55 ERA over six starts at the major-league level from 2021-22, but he has a 3.39 ERA with 141 strikeouts across 140.2 innings at Triple-A during that span. There figures to be some interest in the righty on waivers.

Seabold was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold has thrown 18.1 innings over five starts for Boston this season, and he's put up a less-than-spectacular 11.29 ERA and 2.35 WHIP in the process. Those numbers drop to a much more respectable 3.32 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in Triple-A, but he has yet to put things together in the majors. His departure opens a spot the roster which will almost certainly be filled by Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) when he comes off the injured list.

Seabold allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out two batters over two innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold's outing got off to an ominous start when Cedric Mullins opened the contest with a solo home run against him, and the rookie right-hander gave up four more runs in the second inning, though one was unearned. It was perhaps merciful, then, that a nearly two-hour rain delay interrupted the contest and resulted in Seabold's removal. With the poor outing, Seabold's ERA shot up to 11.29 on the season, and he's given up four or more earned runs in four of his five starts while completing five innings only once.

Seabold is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Orioles at Fenway Park.
EDGE Analysis
Boston isn't expected to return rehabbing starter Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list until at least Thursday, so Seabold will be in store for a second straight turn through the rotation. After getting called up from Triple-A Worcester last week to serve as Boston's No. 5 starter, Seabold dropped to 0-3 after giving up four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings.

Seabold (0-3) allowed four earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold re-entered the rotation with Kutter Crawford (shoulder) sidelined. Despite handing out only one free pass, Seabold struggled with his command as he hit a batter and threw four wild pitches. Positively, he didn't allow any extra-base hits, so most of the damage was self-inflicted. Seabold is likely to stick in the Boston rotation for the rest of the regular season, though he now owns a 10.47 ERA across a very small 16.1 inning sample in the majors for the season.

The Red Sox recalled Seabold from Triple-A Worcester ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Boston moved reliever Garrett Whitlock (hip) to the 15-day injured list to open up a spot on the 28-man active roster for Seabold, who is rejoining the big club for the first time in the second half. While making three starts for the Red Sox prior to the All-Star break, Seabold delivered an 11.91 ERA and 2.56 WHIP in 11.1 innings.

Seabold was recalled from Triple-A Worcester and will start Wednesday's game in Cincinnati, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kutter Crawford (shoulder) shut down for the season, Seabold could make two or three starts before the end of the season, depending the health of the other starters and whether they go with a five- or six-man rotation. Seabold, 26, logged a 3.32 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 89 strikeouts in 86.2 innings at Triple-A.

Seabold (forearm) was activated from the 15-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold landed on the shelf July 8 with a strained forearm, and he's been cleared for game action after recently being deemed ready to face live hitters. The 26-year-old has started three games for the Red Sox this year and has given up 15 earned runs with a 13:5 K:BB over 11.1 innings, and he'll make his way back to Worcester now that he's healthy.
