Quinn Priester's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Quinn Priester was recalled ahead of his start on Sunday afternoon. Priester has spent his entire time in the Red Sox organization pitching for Triple-A and will be set to make his Boston debut on the final day of the regular season. Through 38 1/3 innings at Triple-A Worcester, the former Bucco held a 5.40 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, with a 12:42 BB:K ratio. In 44 innings at the major league level in the Steel City this summer, Priester posted a 5.04 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. The 24-year-old has continued to show growing pains against the top level of the minor leagues and the majors and should not be considered as a streaming option this afternoon.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Quinn Priester took the mound for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, completing 2 1/3 innings and allowing eight runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four. Throughout this season, Priester has been bouncing between Triple-A and MLB, combining for a 5.02 ERA in 80 2/3 total innings. After spending most of July in the big leagues, he was demoted to Triple-A after the Red Sox acquired him from Pittsburgh. Unless a pitcher in Boston's current rotation has to miss time, Priester will likely need to improve before he's recalled to the majors.

The Boston Red Sox acquired right-hander Quinn Priester from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday in exchange for infield prospect Nick Yorke, according to sources. Priester, once a top pitching prospect for Pittsburgh, will now head to Boston, where he'll serve as organizational starting pitching depth. The 23-year-old former 18th overall pick in 2019 will most likely be heading to Triple-A Worcester and can be left on the waiver wire in single-year fantasy leagues for the time being. Priester made his big-league debut last year and went 2-6 in 10 appearances (six starts) for the Bucs this year while posting a 5.04 ERA (4.81 FIP) and 1.45 WHIP with a 31:13 K:BB in 44 2/3 frames. The Red Sox will be hoping they can turn Priester around in the long term for a rotation spot down the road after he's posted an unattractive 6.46 ERA in 94 2/3 innings so far in the majors the last two years.
