Dylan Covey

Dylan Covey will open the season on the injured list due to shoulder tightness.

Fantasy Impact

Covey was shut down from throwing. He'll look to work his way back and return early in the season.

Dylan Covey is reportedly dealing with tightness in his right shoulder.

Fantasy Impact

Covey made 29 appearances out of the bullpen for the Phillies last season. It is unclear how long he will be sidelined.

Dylan Covey was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Fantasy Impact

Covey was acquired from the Rays earlier in the week to add pitching depth. He struggled in two innings of work against the Orioles on Saturday, giving up two runs on three hits in his two innings of work. Covey could return to the majors at some point this season, but he's struggled in the big leagues in each of the last three seasons.

Dylan Covey was named to Boston's 30-man roster according to MLB.com.

Fantasy Impact

Covey was traded from the Rays to the Red Sox on Tuesday. The 28-year-old spent the past three seasons with the White Sox before signing a minor-league deal with the Rays in February. Don't expect Covey to have much fantasy value as he comes into the season with a career ERA of 6.54 over 250 innings pitched.

Dylan Covey was acquired by the Red Sox from the Rays. He has replaced Bobby Poyner in the player pool.

Fantasy Impact

Covey may see emergency innings as part of a decimated Red Sox rotation, be a long reliever, or be sent to Boston's alternate site. Regardless, his career 6.54 ERA in 250 innings means that he is not fantasy relevant at this point.
