Tampa Bay Rays news, rumors and injuriesTue, 21 May 2013 19:09:09 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays OF Matt Joyce (hamstring) left the game Tuesday, May 21, against the Toronto Blue Jays due to tightness in his right hamstring. His removal is considered precautionary. Share: Rays | Jose Molina remains out Tue, 21 May 2013 12:37:11 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays C Jose Molina (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Tuesday, May 21. Share: Rays | Jeff Beliveau optioned Tue, 21 May 2013 11:32:12 -0700 The Tampa Bay Rays optioned P Jeff Beliveau to the minors Monday, May 20. Share: Rays | Matt Moore matches The Babe Sun, 19 May 2013 22:59:25 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays SP Matt Moore tossed seven innings and allowed just five hits and one run Sunday, May 19, to stay undefeated with a 3-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. It was Moore's ninth straight win, setting a Rays' franchise record. The 23-year-old left-hander's start is the best by a pitcher that young since a 22-year-old Babe Ruth went 8-0 in 1917. Share: Rays | Roberto Hernandez has shortest outing Sat, 18 May 2013 22:11:34 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays SP Roberto Hernandez allowed five earned runs and eight hits over just two innings in a no-decision Saturday, May 18, against the Baltimore Orioles. It was the first time this season Hernandez failed to last at least 5 1/3 innings. Share: Rays | Evan Longoria ties career mark Sat, 18 May 2013 20:53:11 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays 3B Evan Longoria posted a double in the ninth inning Saturday, May 18, against the Baltimore Orioles to match a career high with a hit in 12 straight games. Share: Rays | Jeff Beliveau recalled Sat, 18 May 2013 20:23:11 -0700 The Tampa Bay Rays recalled RP Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham Saturday, May 18. He is expected to simply bolster the bullpen Sunday, May 19, and is likely headed back to the Bulls Monday, May 20, to make room for SP Jake Odorizzi. Share: Rays | Jake Odorizzi to start Monday Sat, 18 May 2013 19:09:38 -0700 The Tampa Bay Rays announced Saturday, May 18, that SP Jake Odorizzi will be recalled from Triple-A Durham to start Monday, May 20, against the Toronto Blue Jays in place of the injured SP David Price (triceps). Share: Rays | Jose Molina leaves early Sat, 18 May 2013 19:09:08 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays C Jose Molina (hamstring) left the game Saturday, May 18, against the Baltimore Orioles due to a tight hamstring. However, Molina said he was "okay" after the game, and manager Joe Maddon said Molina could play Sunday, May 19. Share: Rays | Evan Longoria extends hit streak Fri, 17 May 2013 20:26:16 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays 3B Evan Longoria went 2-for-3 with a double, walk, two runs scored, RBI and a strikeout Friday, May 17, against the Baltimore Orioles to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. Share: Rays | Fernando Rodney unavailable Fri, 17 May 2013 14:54:11 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays RP Fernando Rodney is likely unavailable to pitch Friday, May 17, after tossing 35 pitches in his blown save Thursday, May 16. RP Joel Peralta is likely to close if a save situation arises. Fantasy Tip: If you own Peralta in an AL league, make sure he's in your lineup tonight. Rodney shouldn't be on the hot seat for ninth-inning duties. We knew he was in line for some regression after a career year in 2012. It'll take a lot more for him to lose his job. Share: Rays | Not concerned with Fernando Rodney Fri, 17 May 2013 08:00:47 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon said he's not worried about CL Fernando Rodney yet. He has blown three saves in 10 chances. Maddon likes Rodney's "stuff" and velocity, but the command just is not there. Share: Rays | David Price not expected to be out long Thu, 16 May 2013 14:33:20 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon doesn't think SP David Price (triceps) will miss more than two or three starts, and he isn't concerned about his long-term standing. Fantasy Tip: This is good news for Price owners, as he shouldn't be out for more than two weeks. However, that means whoever takes Price's rotation spot -- Chris Archer or Jake Odorizzi -- will be around only for the short term. They probably won't deserve consideration past AL-only leagues for that reason. Share: Rays | Jake Odorizzi could enter rotation Thu, 16 May 2013 13:15:03 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays SP Jake Odorizzi could be a realistic candidate to take SP David Price's (triceps) turn in the rotation Monday, May 20. SP Chris Archer is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Durham Thursday, May 16. Fantasy Tip: If Archer makes his start tonight, that would likely eliminate him. Stay tuned. Either way, both Archer and Odorizzi are worth a dart throw in AL-only leagues, even if they're in the rotation for just two weeks. Share:  Rays | David Price to DLThu, 16 May 2013 11:44:07 -0700 The Tampa Bay Rays placed SP David Price (triceps) on the 15-day disabled list with a left triceps strain Thursday, May 16, and recalled SP Alexander Torres from the minors in a corresponding move. Fantasy Tip: Torres could be used to help out in the bullpen in the meantime, so Chris Archer remains a candidate to come up to start Monday and for however long Price is out. Jake Odorizzi pitched Wednesday, so he's on turn, but he pitched poorly in his outing. Archer is the best bet to fill the vacant rotation spot for the short term, and he'll be a popular waiver wire target in AL-only leagues. He's worth a look in deep mixed formats, as well, depending on the matchups. Share:  |
