The Tampa Bay Rays begin a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays and the start of seventeen straight games without an off day. Tyler Glasnow (2-0, 0.73 ERA) will take the mound for the Rays against Steven Matz (3-0, 1.47 ERA) for the Blue Jays.
The Rays bullpen is already working without Pete Fairbanks and Nick Anderson. They will now be short Diego Castillo as well as he is recovering from the effects of his COVID-19 vaccine. Louis Head was called up, on his 31st birthday, in place of Diego on the roster hoping to make his Major League debut.
