The four day break was a welcome respite for the Rays and their fans.
And we return to good news: Kevin Kiermaier is back. He’ll be joined by Luke Maile (replacing Conger, optioned to Durham this week) and the recently signed Kevin Jepsen. To make room on the 25 man roster, no doubt two relievers will be optioned/DFA’d before tonight’s game. Tyler Sturdevant, Dylan Floro, and Ryan Garton are the only guys with options outside of Matt Andriese, so two of the three are the likely candidates for demotion.
It’s too late to make any real run in all but the pigs flying, hell freezing over scenarios, but players have jobs to play for and they can still ruin other teams chances with a good run in the second half.
