He sputtered to a 9.69 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 13 innings across eight relief appearances in the minors this year, and he'll now search for a new team going forward.

Poyner was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Poyner cleared waivers after being designated for assignment Wednesday, hardly a surprise given his 6.94 ERA 11.2 major-league innings last season. He could still return to the big leagues this season but is one step further away now that he's no longer on the 40-man roster.

Poyner was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday.
Poyner appeared in the majors for the second consecutive season in 2019 but sputtered to a 6.94 ERA over 11.2 innings.

Poyner will likely require more development in the minors prior to securing a permanent role in the majors. Left-hander Jeffrey Springs was acquired from the Rangers in a corresponding move.

Red Sox's Bobby Poyner: Mops up win
Poyner allowed one hit while striking out three over two innings to earn the save Wednesday against Baltimore.
Poyner has not received much attention this spring as most of the bullpen focus has been on Boston's closer role. The 26-year-old left-hander still has options, which may be the deciding factor when it comes time to finalize the bullpen. If the Red Sox opt to keep eight relievers, Poyner could sneak in despite a 6.52 ERA over 9.2 spring innings.
