ST. PETERSBURG — The Rays are running out of options.
And at this rate they may run out of time to recover.
The accumulation of injuries and inconsistencies continues to add up and cost them.
Because starters Yonny Chirinos, Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell are sidelined into September, and Brendan McKay pitched his way back to the minors, Jalen Beeks is still being used in a key role to work bulk innings as a starter or behind an opener. And because their bullpen is so heavily taxed, Beeks was still on the mound in the pivotal sixth inning Tuesday.
