Eovaldi will start Game 3 of the ALDS against the Yankees on Monday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi was originally in line to start a potential Game 4, but the Red Sox decided to make a switch to their rotation following Saturday's loss to New York. The right-hander produced a 1.35 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP in the month of September, so he'll look to keep that going when he faces off with Luis Severino on Monday night.

Eovaldi will start Game 4 of the ALDS against the Yankees on Tuesday should the series last longer than the minimum, though he will be available out of the bullpen for Game 1 on Friday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi will follow Chris Sale, David Price and Rick Porcello in Boston's rotation. Across five appearances (four starts) in September, Eovaldi logged a 1.35 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with a robust 27:8 K:BB over 20 innings. He will look to stymie his former team in Yankee Stadium next week.

Eovaldi is listed as the Red Sox's starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Eovaldi fanned 10 hitters over five innings to pick up the win in his start Monday against the Orioles, the expectation was that he would shift to the bullpen, where he's expected to work during the postseason. However, with the Red Sox electing to skip Eduardo Rodriguez's final turn through the rotation, Eovaldi will get one more start to close out the regular season. While the matchup with a homer-happy Yankees offense is a challenging one, Eovaldi's recent form -- he's logged a 1.50 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over his last four appearances -- may embolden fantasy owners to roll the dice with him.

Eovaldi (6-7) allowed one run on four hits while striking out 10 over five innings and picking up the win Monday against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi gave up his lone run in the fifth inning on a wild pitch, but the Red Sox had already gotten out to a healthy lead. Although the 28-year-old has made 20 starts in 2018, he'll be deployed out of the bullpen when postseason play begins. Eovaldi owns a 3.88 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 97 strikeouts over 109 frames this year.

Eovaldi will start Monday against the Orioles, then will likely follow Rick Porcello out of the bullpen next Friday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora wouldn't commit to Eovaldi being a reliever during the postseason, preferring to see which team the Red Sox will be facing. "We don't know who we're going to play," Cora said. "We're getting ahead of ourselves. You guys know I hate to get ahead of myself. If we win the division we don't know who we're going to play. Who matches up better against [the Yankees] or Oakland or the Rays?" That likely means Cora may prefer to have Eovaldi start if the Yankees are the opponent. The right-hander has a 2.11 ERA and 0.78 WHIP over 21.1 innings in three starts against the Bronx Bombers.

Eovaldi allowed two hits and two walks over six shutout innings during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi pitched fantastic against the Yankees but was pulled at 83 pitches (52 strikes), only for the bullpen to allow three runs during the seventh inning. The 28-year-old worked beyond the fourth inning for the first time since Aug. 21 and now has a 3.98 ERA and 1.15 WHIP this season.

Eovaldi will make his next start Tuesday against the Yankees, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi pitched 3.2 innings Tuesday after Chris Sale pitched one inning to open the game. With Sale making his return from injury, the Red Sox wanted to go easy on the left-hander and had Eovaldi serve as the primary pitcher. His role going forward was somewhat unclear, but it looks like he'll return to Boston's rotation for the remainder of the season.

Eovaldi will be called upon in long relief Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi will pitch in relief Tuesday, with Chris Sale expected to serve as the opener, although he'll be held to two innings or 40 pitches. Eovaldi also figures to be at the ready to take over in Sale's next start, with the Red Sox slowly stretching him out. Eovaldi's usage going forward will likely depend on how Sale responds after coming back from shoulder inflammation: if he manages to build up to five or six frames, Eovaldi is expected to remain in the bullpen.

Eovaldi lasted just 3.1 innings Monday against the Braves but did not allow a run, giving up two hits and four walks while striking out four. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves ultimately couldn't get to Eovaldi, but he labored significantly throughout his start, requiring 86 pitches to record just 10 outs. After an excellent start to his Boston career, Eovaldi has now made three straight starts of no more than four innings. He's average just 3.7 innings over his last six appearances. It's unclear whether or not the Red Sox will keep faith with him, as they have two off days in the next seven days and Chris Sale potentially returning from his shoulder injury.

Eovaldi will make his next start Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi will pitch on three days rest after throwing just 35 pitches in a rain-shortened outing Friday. That means he'll have two starts next week, but fantasy owners should know he has an 8.05 ERA (17 ER, 19 IP) over his last five starts. Manager Alex Cora suggested Eovaldi is throwing too many strikes and is missing location, particularly when he gets two strikes on a hitter. "He doesn't walk people. The strike percentage is way up there," Cora said. "Maybe we're throwing too many strikes. Sometimes they fall into that. They're so aggressive in the strike zone and they trust their stuff that they leave pitches in the zone with two strikes instead of pitching to the edges."
