Jake Faria Will Make At Least One More Rehab Start
Jake Faria (oblique) will make at least one more rehab start in the minors. He is eligible to be activated from the disabled list already, but for whatever reason, will get another start in Triple-A Durham. In Faria's 86 2/3 innings in the majors during 2017, he struck out 84 batters while issuing only 31 walks. He is not much of an option until you get down to deeper leagues or AL-only formats.

Red Sox Sign Jake Faria To Minor-League Deal
Jake Faria to a minor-league deal on Saturday, according to a source. Faria began his MLB career mostly as a starter for the Rays in 2017 and 2018, but he's mostly served as a reliever in two seasons since then. The 29-year-old didn't pitch in the majors at all in 2022 and had a 5.51 ERA (4.58 FIP), 1.59 WHIP, 13 walks and 32 strikeouts in 23 appearances (three starts) over 32 2/3 innings pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Faria had a rough 7.48 ERA in 12 outings (nine starts) at Triple-A St. Paul with the Minnesota Twins in 2022. He'll give the Red Sox some starting and relieving pitching depth in 2023 but won't be on the fantasy radar at all if he's in the big leagues.
