The Tampa Bay Rays may have an unfortunate window to get out to an early lead in the division over the Yankees. We just published an article chronicling how the Yankees set a record for most IL stints last season and are off on the wrong foot this spring.
Their rotation has taken a huge hit with James Paxton recovering from cyst-removal surgery on his back, Luis Severino losing the season to Tommy John surgery, and Giancarlo Stanton dealing with a strained right calf.
