The Rays pitching depth is about to be tested

The Tampa Bay Rays have a problem: Yonny Chirinos has joined starters Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the Injured List due to middle finger inflammation and is expected to miss a month.

This sends the Rays deep into their depth charts for starting pitchers or bulk pitchers.

Charlie Morton and Ryan Yarbrough are the two men left standing from the expected five to start the season picking up the bulk of the innings for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Despite the talk from New York Yankees fans every team has to deal with injuries. The average team will need to use 8-10 starters in a typical season.
