OAKLAND -- The way Wander Franco leaped at Daulton Jefferies’ third-inning pitch and drilled it into right field for a single, one might have thought he was a kid set free on a playground. Which, in a way, he was. Scratched from Tampa Bay’s lineup a day earlier with a

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays had to further shuffle their pitching staff due to injuries on Tuesday afternoon, placing starter Luis Patiño and reliever JT Chargois on the 10-day injured list.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays spent most of this past season without right-hander Nick Anderson, their most effective reliever from the time they acquired him in 2019 until the end of the '20 season. Now, it appears Anderson will be sidelined for most of next year as well. Anderson underwent

DETROIT -- The nice thing about the American League East-leading Rays this season is that they’ve typically found ways to win no matter who is -- or isn’t -- in the lineup on any given day. It’s a strength that will be tested at a crucial point in the season

ST. PETERSBURG -- A day after having to leave the Rays’ 4-0 loss to the Red Sox due to a headache, Rays rookie shortstop Wander Franco was feeling better but was not in Tampa Bay’s starting lineup against the Twins on Friday night. Manager Kevin Cash said Franco slept well,

ST. PETERSBURG -- Chris Archer’s return to the Rays’ rotation lasted only two innings before he exited Sunday's 9-0 win against the White Sox at Tropicana Field due to left hip tightness. The veteran right-hander is hopeful the injury won’t keep him off the mound for long.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays’ pitching injuries continue to pile up, as left-handed reliever Jeffrey Springs became the latest Tampa Bay player to hit the injured list. The Rays placed Springs on the 10-day IL on Sunday due to a right knee sprain, which he suffered during Tampa Bay’s 9-5

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays’ injury-riddled bullpen took another hit Thursday, when the club placed high-leverage reliever Pete Fairbanks on the 10-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation.
