ARLINGTON -- For a second consecutive day, the Rays have shelved a pitcher with what they hope is mere “September forearm.” Lefty Garrett Cleavinger was placed on the 15-day IL Saturday with left forearm tightness. The club called up right-hander Ty Johnson from Triple-A Durham for his Major League debut.

The Rays’ rotation took a significant hit Friday as it lost left-handed starter Shane McClanahan to the 15-day injured list due to left forearm tightness. Right-hander Alex Cook was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. The IL placement comes one day after McClanahan allowed four earned runs over

BALTIMORE -- The Rays are one step closer to having a fully healthy rotation after right-hander Griffin Jax worked three innings in a Minor League rehab start for Triple-A Durham on Sunday afternoon. Jax, who is on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow discomfort, threw 42 pitches (25

BALTIMORE -- The Rays reinstated right-hander Manuel Rodríguez from the 60-day injured list before Sunday’s series finale against the Orioles at Camden Yards, ending the reliever’s long road back from elbow surgery and adding another proven arm to their bullpen. Rodríguez hasn’t pitched in the Majors since June 9, 2025.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays placed Victor Mesa Jr. on the 10-day injured list Wednesday afternoon due to a strained left hamstring, as expected, but they didn’t replace him with another outfielder. Tampa Bay recalled catcher Kenny Piper from Triple-A Durham as part of a series of roster moves, making

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays’ rotation was nearly made whole on Monday night, as left-hander Shane McClanahan was activated off the injured list and pitched 3 1/3 innings to start Tampa Bay's 7-6 win over the Orioles at Tropicana Field. As much as anything he did on the mound, the

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The Rays can breathe a sigh of relief about starter Griffin Jax. Before Tuesday’s game against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash delivered what he called a “very good update” regarding Jax, who was placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday

WEST SACRAMENTO -- On Aug. 11, 2025, before the opening game of a series against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park, Rays manager Kevin Cash delivered some bad news: Rehabbing left-hander Shane McClanahan underwent surgery on his pitching arm and was ruled out for the season. Fast-forward to Tuesday --

SEATTLE -- Rays right-hander Griffin Jax, who was scratched hours before the first pitch Saturday, was placed on the 15-day injured list before Sunday's series finale vs. the Mariners with right elbow discomfort. The move is retroactive to Aug. 6. The Rays called up right-hander Michael Grove from Triple-A Durham

SEATTLE -- Right-hander starter Griffin Jax was scratched hours before first pitch of the Rays' matchup with the Mariners on Saturday night with discomfort in his right elbow, but the injury is not ligament related, according to manager Kevin Cash. “Woke up this morning not feeling great,” Jax said after

SEATTLE -- Former Rays top prospect Carson Williams has been in this situation before. But he’s ready to take full advantage of his opportunity -- wherever he’s required. “All I can do is come up here and try to help this team win some more,” Williams said.

DENVER -- Infielder Ben Williamson exited the Rays’ 4-0 win over the Rockies on Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field in the ninth inning due to a right hamstring injury. Williamson appeared to sustain the injury while running to first base after hitting a chopper to Colorado second baseman Edouard Julien.

ST. PETERSBURG -- Given all he has been through over the past three years, the idea of spending more time on the injured list was, obviously, not terribly appealing to Shane McClanahan. But after leaving his start against the Rangers on Thursday with left mid-back tightness, McClanahan recognized that a

ST. PETERSBURG -- Entering Thursday’s series finale at Tropicana Field, the Rays already had a reason to be shopping in the starting pitching market ahead of Monday’s 6 p.m. ET Trade Deadline. Time will tell if they have a greater reason to explore that market now after starting pitcher Shane

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays reinstated left-hander Steven Matz from the 15-day injured list on Saturday, hoping the veteran will return to form after missing a month due to a sprained left ankle. It’s been an up-and-down season for Matz, the 35-year-old lefty who signed a two-year, $15 million deal

BOSTON -- Junior Caminero has started at third base in every game the Rays have played so far this season, and he wasn’t going to let a sore pinkie finger -- or a doubleheader -- change that Friday at Fenway Park. Caminero was in Tampa Bay’s lineup, batting third and

PHILADELPHIA – A hush came over Citizens Bank Park when Rays emerging superstar slugger Junior Caminero was struck on his left pinkie finger by a 97.6 mph pitch from Cardinals righty Riley O’Brien in the third inning of Tuesday night’s All-Star Game. The last thing anyone wants at any Midsummer

Rays second baseman Gavin Lux and outfielder Jake Fraley each had big nights for Triple-A Durham as they continued their respective rehab assignments on Tuesday. Lux went 3-for-4 with three well-struck singles as the designated hitter while Fraley launched a three-run home run and played four innings in right field

KANSAS CITY -- There was good news for the Rays all over the place on the injury front on Tuesday. At Kauffman Stadium, designated hitter Yandy Díaz was back in the starting lineup, batting leadoff, after exiting Sunday’s series finale against the D-backs early due to a nagging left shoulder

ST. PETERSBURG -- Rays designated hitter Yandy Díaz exited Sunday’s 5-1 win over the D-backs at Tropicana Field due to a left shoulder strain, but he is expected to be fine. Díaz has plenty of experience playing through pain in his shoulder, and he doesn’t think it will be any

ST. PETERSBURG -- Looking for something to break their way amid the toughest stretch of their season so far, the Rays got back a big part of their outfield on Friday. The Rays reinstated outfielder Jonny DeLuca from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday night’s series opener against the

ST. PETERSBURG -- Over the course of three hours and eight minutes Monday night, the Rays lost their starting shortstop to a nagging left hamstring issue, their starting left fielder on a painful slide into second base and a frustrating game in which they couldn’t stop a slumping Tigers lineup.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays had to once again shuffle their bullpen personnel prior to Sunday’s series finale against the Angels at Tropicana Field. Veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel was placed on the 15-day injured list after just one appearance with his new team due to a right wrist strain. His
