Rays News

Griffin Jax's elbow discomfort has put a dent in the Rays' pitching plans, forcing him to the 15-day injured list and opening the door for Michael Grove's call-up. Despite this setback, the Rays continue to roll, boasting a 6-1 record over the past week and outscoring opponents by five runs. Chandler Simpson's recent move to the No. 3 spot in the lineup has paid off, as he racked up four hits during the Mariners series, solidifying his place as a key asset for Tampa Bay. With this momentum and Kevin Kelly re-emerging as a reliable option in the bullpen, the Rays are looking to keep their winning streak alive as they face the Mariners again.
