The Rays slumped their way through a 1-5 week and a 2-7 road trip, dropping three to the Yankees and two of three to the Orioles. They are in third place in the AL East, 13 games behind New York, though they do still somehow hold the final wild card slot. They host the Yankees for a three game set starting this evening before welcoming the Pirates on Friday for three games.
The 13 man pitching staff limit goes into effect today. Though there are rumors Josh Lowe will be the position player call up for the Rays, we don’t have confirmation at this time.
