It’s fair to worry about Jalen Beeks.
While Beeks began the year playing an interesting swing role in the Rays’ creative bullpen structure, where he was given both important short relief appearences, and occasional multi-inning work, the injury to Tyler Glasnow pushed Beeks closer to a traditional fifth-starter/bulk guy role—at least as close as the 2019 Rays get.
Since then Beeks has pitched every fifth day, chipping in between three innings and five innings each time, except for one excellent appearance against Kansas City where he pitched six and two thirds scoreless. He’s basicaly been a one or two times through the order pitcher, and on the face of it, that’s worked out great for Beeks and the Rays.
