Hatch allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts in 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus Boston on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old's first appearance of the year wasn't all that impressive, and he was on the hook for the loss before Bo Bichette's fifth-inning homer. Hatch has made eight starts for Triple-A Buffalo this year, but he's only covered 29.1 innings as he was on a pitch count due to an elbow impingement suffered in March. It's unlikely the right-hander sees a regular turn in the rotation once Alek Manoah (back) comes off the injured list, but Hatch could be a candidate to start in a doubleheader versus Boston next week.
