Buchholz exited Tuesday's game against the Mets in the top of the third inning with an apparent injury, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchholz was off to a rough start prior to his early injury departure, as he had already allowed five earned runs on eight hits and one walk over 2.1 innings. More details concerning his injury should become available following the game.

Buchholz allowed four earned runs over five innings in Thursday's loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

While Buchholz wasn't dealt with the loss Thursday, the bulk of the Reds' runs were scored while he was on the mound. Over those five innings he allowed seven hits and walked two batters, while striking out just three. The 2016 season saw Buchholz take a major step back, as he was moved to a bullpen role and finished the year with a 4.78 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Although he's back in a starting rotation, outings such as Thursday's will only take away from his already-low fantasy value.

Buchholz gave up three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over 3.1 innings against the Pirates on Sunday. "Let's put it this way," manager Pete Mackanin said to PhillyVoice.com, "you can't honestly say he had a good spring but he was up close to 90 pitches today. Pitch-count wise he's doing fine. He hadn't pitched in nine days so I can understand his lack of command. Once he's into a rhythm, I think he'll be fine."

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start since March 15 -- he and his wife welcomed a child into the world last week -- Buchholz struggled to locate with any consistency. He believes the control of his offspeed pitches will come, and Mackanin doesn't seem to be putting much stock into Buchholz's spring performance (5.94 ERA, 1.68 WHIP). Buchholz lines up to make one more Grapefruit League start before taking the hill in the Phillies' third regular season game, April 6 in Cincinnati.

Buchholz allowed three runs on four hits over 3.1 innings against the Yankees on Friday. He struck out six and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

Buccholz told Ralph Long of CSN Philadelphia that he was working on his four-seam fastball, a pitch he started to use a bit more toward the end of last season. He wants to use the high four-seamer more to complement his sinker to force batters to adjust their eye levels. Buchholz struggled in the first half of last season, but was 5-1 with a 3.22 ERA in 19 appearances (eight starts) after July 2. He's worth a look toward the end of drafts.

Buchholz said he is planning to continue pitching exclusively out of the stretch this spring, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchholz ditched his windup toward the end of last while also changing his release point and making a few other mechanical tweaks. He finished the season going 3-0 with a 3.14 ERA in five September starts for the Red Sox. The Phillies are hoping he can carry that success forward into the 2017 season, giving them a potential trade chip later this year.

Buchholz was traded to the Phillies on Tuesday in exchange for second base prospect Josh Tobias, the Philadelphia Daily News' Matt Gelb reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchholz was expendable after Boston acquired Chris Sale earlier in the offseason, and the primary motivation for moving him was to get his $13.5 million salary off the books. He will become a free agent after the 2017 season. His fantasy stock is certainly trending up after this move, as he will head to the National League and get out of the American League East, while also going from a likely bullpen/swing man role to the Phillies' clear fifth starter. Buchholz has struggled to stay healthy for seemingly his entire career, but he has a career 3.96 ERA, and as recently as 2015 he posted a 22.8 percent strikeout rate. He is worth a flyer in deep mixed leagues and could be a solid contributor in NL-only formats.

The Red Sox picked up their 2017 option of $13.5 million for Buchholz's contract, Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the surface, Buchholz's 2017 season looks vastly underwhelming, as he rounded out the year with a 4.78 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. However, he finished the season on a strong note and recorded an ERA of 2.86 and 3.14 in August and September, respectively.

Following Sunday's game being postponed, Buchholz will pitch Game 3 of the ALDS on Monday night, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports

EDGE Analysis

Although the game was postponed a day, the Red Sox will send out their same scheduled starter for Monday's outing. Buchholz has a lofty 4.78 ERA and 1.33 WHIP for the year, but has shown improvement as of late. Across his last five starts, Buchholz has posted an ERA and WHIP of 3.14 and 1.15, respectively.

Buchholz has been announced as the Red Sox's starting pitcher for Game 3 of their ALDS series with the Indians, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchholz spent a good portion of the season working out of the bullpen after struggling as a starter, but he rejoined the rotation late in the season and earned at least one postseason start by going 3-0 with a 3.14 ERA over five September starts. He faced the Indians twice during the regular season -- albeit during his rough patch to open the campaign -- and did not fare well, giving up eight earned runs in 10 innings (7.20 ERA) over two starts.

Buchholz continued his masterful work, throwing seven shutout frames in a no-decision against the Yankees on Wednesday. He allowed just one hit, struck out six and walked two.

EDGE Analysis

Boston didn't grab the lead until the eighth, as the game remained scoreless until then, so Buchholz wasn't in line for the win, but the Red Sox bullpen blew the game in the ninth anyway. Since allowing six runs against Toronto on Sept. 11, Buchholz has allowed just three runs over 19 frames, and actually, he owns a 2.63 ERA since Aug. 13, and that even includes the outing where he yielded six runs. He's extremely hot heading into October.
