The Rays have battled injuries the whole year; half of the starting rotation went down in the first 2 months of the season including Jeffery Springs, Drew Rasmussen, and Josh Fleming. A couple of relievers have also landed on the injured list, however, the front office has been able to cover those spots along the way. Moreover, it seems that there is still a hole in the starting rotation. One of the answers might be the trade deadline, however, it’s always tough to find a quality starter in the market. The cheapest option might be looking to the farm system, and one of the names that deserve a chance is Jacob Lopez.
Could Jacob Lopez be the next pitcher up?
