Baz was initially scheduled to start at Triple-A Durham on Thursday, but he has been scratched. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that Baz could be called up to the major league roster on Friday and is a candidate to start vs. the Tigers.

The Rays already own the best record in the American League, and Baz could make them even more formidable in the playoffs. Baz was ranked as the No. 3 prospect in the Rays’ organization and the No. 63 prospect overall in FanGraphs‘ most recent rankings, and he’s dominated as a 22-year-old at Triple-A.
