Seabold (forearm) will throw a live batting practice session at Fenway Park on Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Michael Wacha (shoulder) is also scheduled to face hitters Monday, as both injured pitchers look to be at the same spot in their respective rehab programs. Boston will have a spot available in the rotation for Wacha once he's ready to return from the 15-day injured list, but Seabold is more likely to be optioned to Triple-A Worcester once he's reinstated. Boston currently has only four healthy starting pitchers on the active roster, but Josh Winckowski (illness) looks on pace to return from the COVID-19 IL on Tuesday, while Wacha and/or Rich Hill (knee) could both be activated before or at a similar time as Seabold.

Seabold's forearm strain isn't considered serious, and he's already resumed playing catch, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold was pulled from his start last Friday against the Yankees in the third inning with a right forearm extensor strain, but he seems to have avoided a long-term absence. He doesn't have an exact return timeline, but the fact that he's already throwing again in some capacity just one week later is encouraging

Seabold was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right forearm extensor strain.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold left his spot start Friday against the Yankees with the injury, which turned out to be serious enough to send him to the injured list. He'll be out until after the All-Star break at a minimum, with a longer absence seemingly quite possible.

Seabold was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees due to right forearm extensor tightness, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold exited Friday's matchup with two outs in the top of the third inning due to an injury, and he's apparently dealing with a forearm issue. The right-hander will presumably be examined in the coming days to determine the severity of his injury, but he was forced to miss approximately two months last season due to elbow inflammation.

Seabold was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees in the top of the third inning due to an apparent hand injury, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold struggled mightily to begin Friday's matchup, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two in 2.2 innings. It's possible that his injury contributed to his struggles, and he was removed from the matchup after being visited by the training staff. The nature and severity of Seabold's injury aren't yet known, and it's unclear whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Seabold was recalled from Triple-A Worcester and will start Friday against the Yankees, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old returned to the minors after starting for the Red Sox last Sunday and giving up a run over four innings, but he'll quickly rejoin the big-league roster with Michael Wacha (shoulder) headed to the injured list. Seabold is unlikely to be in Boston's rotation for long since Chris Sale (ribs) is set to return make his season debut Tuesday.

Seabold will start Friday's game against the Yankees, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold will start in place of Michael Wacha (arm), though he has yet to be officially promoted from Triple-A Worcester. Seabold has made two starts with the big-league club this season, failing to surpass 4.2 innings on each occasion. He has had mixed results in those two outings, surrendering a combined eight earned runs across 8.2 frames.

Seabold was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Seabold made two starts during his time with the major-league club, and he'll be sent down following Sunday's outing. After allowing seven runs in 4.2 innings against the Blue Jays on June 27, he fared much better against the Cubs on Sunday, giving up just one run in four innings. However, the right-hander will head back to the minors after Kutter Crawford was recalled Monday.

Seabold didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Cubs, allowing one run on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in four innings.
EDGE Analysis
Making his second career start following Monday's poor performance, Seabold surrendered two hits and one run before recording an out. The 26-year-old was able to rebound and prevent any more runs from scoring, though he permitted exactly two baserunners in each of his four frames. Through two starts, Seabold has allowed eight runs on 18 baserunners with 11 strikeouts in 8.2 innings and is slated for a challenge with a start against the Yankees currently on tap for next weekend.

The Red Sox called Seabold up from Triple-A Worcester and will have him start Sunday's series finale in Chicago versus the Cubs, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite getting roughed up for seven earned runs over 4.2 innings Monday in Toronto in his 2022 MLB debut, Seabold will get another turn through the rotation due in large part to the Red Sox's lack of healthy starting depth. Even against a non-contending Cubs squad, Seabold likely won't make for an appealing streaming option in most fantasy leagues.
