Ryan Yabrough got the chance to pitch deep in last night’s game and he nailed it
Did Kevin Cash forget the bullpen’s phone number? Normally quick-hook-Cash let his starter pitch into the eighth inning and we wondered why Last night Ryan Yarbrough was called up to fill in the giant hole left in the rotation with the injury to Tyler Glasnow. Glasnow has been one of the best pitchers in baseball in the first quarter of the season posting a 1.86 ERA, 2.17 FIP, and 2.78 xFIP in his first eight starts. Nobody was likely to repeat that performance (frankly, not even Glasnow, who was/is due some regression) but Yarbrough did his best. Officially called up yesterday afternoon...

Who could the Rays acquire to fill in for Tyler Glasnow?
We consider a few external options. Tyler Glasnow was in the middle of a breakout, and the Rays were in first place, when he removed himself from a game. Right now the prognosis is 4-6 weeks on the shelf with a forearm strain. That leaves a massive hole in the Rays nonstandard pitching rotation, as Glasnow was performing at a level that’s truly irreplaceable. But the innings will still need to be replaced, and there are a few ways to go about doing that. Danny already ran down the most likely internal options, and we’ve already seen some of that happening. In the immediate term, Jalen...

Tyler Glasnow will be out 4-6 weeks. What is Plan B for Rays pitching?
We will likely see promotions from Durham. Maybe even promotions from Montgomery. The Rays received just about the best news possible after Tyler Glasnow removed himself from the game on Friday night against the Yankees. The prognosis: a forearm strain that should only sideline the early Cy Young front runner for 4-6 weeks. Tampa Bay has been leading the division in wins in part due to Glasnow’s performance. Can they stay atop the totem pole without him? What options do they have to replace his innings? The Rays have been utilizing both the Opener strategy and bullpen days along the...

d’Arnaud acquisition shows Rays front office means business
Reading way too much into Friday’s move Friday was not a great day in Rays land. Those plucky, lovable, underdog Yankees (I hope you can taste the sarcasm through your computer screen) ground out a 4-3 win — the grit! the heart! — on the back of Gio Urshela (yes, that Gio Urshela), and Rays early-season ace Tyler Glasnow exited the game in the sixth with what has been diagnosed as a forearm strain (he’s expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks). All that on the back off the news earlier in the day that Mike Zunino would be out longer than anticipated, leaving the Rays without their top two...

Ray 3 Yankees 4: Glasnow departs with forearm tightness
I’m not going to soft-pedal tonight’s loss. The Rays didn’t get blown out, losing by just one run. But they were defeated in a most frustrating fashion. And perhaps most troubling, starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow made an early departure, calling for the trainer in the 6th inning and reporting “forearm tightness” that will be further diagnosed on Saturday. Pre-injury, Glasnow was once again quite good. He maybe didn’t have the great sharpness of some of his very dominant starts, but a line of five hits, three earned runs, two walks and nine strikeouts in 5.1 isn’t bad at all...

Yankees vs. Rays: Domingo German vs. Tyler Glasnow
The Yankees kick off an important series in the Sunshine State. When was the last time that a Yankees-Rays series mattered? 2012? 2009? Never? Well, tonight’s series sure matters. The Rays shockingly have the second-best record in the American League and are 1.5 games up on the Yankees in the AL East, who are looking to take back the division lead with a sweep. The Yankees will send Domingo German tonight, who has unexpectedly been the club’s best pitcher this year. German is 6-1 on the season with a 2.35 ERA, and opposing batters are hitting just .158 against him. German also brings a...
