Tampa Bay Rays: What happened to Jake Faria?

After a very successful first season in Tampa Bay, I tabbed Jake Faria to be a fixture in the rotation for the foreseeable future. But now, after an injury riddled 2018 that was compounded with inconsistencies, my prediction is in jeopardy.

Many questions remain unanswered after the disappointing 2018 season from Faria. Will he make the 2019 Opening Day roster? If he makes the 25-man roster, will he be a starter or in the pen? Will he return to his 2017 form? I don’t know if he will be a starter, let alone make the Opening Day roster, and the Rays would be lying if they said they know what will happen with Jake Faria.
