The American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays are 18-15, which is good for second place in the tight AL East standings.
Nailing down the Rays rotation will be a moving target all season, but not for the reasons you’d might expect. This is a transition year in Tampa Bay due to the wealth of prospects preparing for the majors, but also a transition year in terms of health. The Rays signed many one-year deals for injured veterans, and coming off a season in which games didn’t happen, all pitchers are on the precipice of injury.
To best avoid injuries, the vast majority of pitchers are throwing smaller shares and the Rays are mixing and matching opener and bulk roles from week to week, but injuries are occurring nonetheless.
