ST. PETERSBURG -- Reflecting on his on-the-fly role change from late-inning reliever to full-time starter, Griffin Jax said on Tuesday it felt like both “forever ago” and “yesterday” that he was pitching out of the Rays’ bullpen. Those contradictory feelings have more to do with the passage of time than

We last took a look at standout pitching prospects who were performing well about a month ago, so we figured it was time to check in on the Minor League’s hottest hurlers again. There are actually only two repeats from last go-round, with a pair of lefties – Kade Anderson

This year, there's a new way to watch Rays baseball.

ST. PETERSBURG -- From a physical standpoint, Shane McClanahan had just about everything going against the Royals on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field. McClanahan’s fastball velocity was as good as it’s been all season, and he threw an even mix of his secondary stuff at Kansas City’s lineup. He pounded

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays added another bullpen option on Tuesday afternoon and cut a player once viewed as their catcher of the future. The Rays acquired right-hander Chris Roycroft from the Cardinals in exchange for a player to be named or cash considerations, then optioned Roycroft to Triple-A Durham.

While the American League Cy Young race has had a clear frontrunner for much of this season, it’s been a different story in the National League.

ST. PETERSBURG -- For the better part of two months, it seemed like every close game the Rays played went their way. They won nine of the first one-run games they played. They came out on the winning end in five of their first six extra-inning games. Those narrow victories

Read our story on the balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters. The Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani remains the leading vote-getter in the National League, while the Blue Jays’ Ernie Clement has taken over the top spot in the American League in our latest

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays’ top prospect is ready for a new challenge. Outfielder Theo Gillen, Tampa Bay’s No. 1 prospect and No. 40 overall according to MLB Pipeline, was informed that he is being promoted from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery. The 20-year-old center fielder got the news

With 202 different teams to choose from, you might think that the top performers each week would be spread out across the Minor Leagues. That's certainly the case on the whole, but a pair of Memphis Redbirds are making sure to stand out -- together. Across 11 full weeks of

ST. PETERSBURG -- A lot of factors contributed to the Rays having their worst stretch of the season over the past month. Their pitching became a little less reliable. Their lineup seemed a little less dynamic. Their sterling record in one-run games went in reverse. But it’s also pretty hard

ST. PETERSBURG -- Junior Caminero walked into the Rays’ clubhouse on Sunday morning, looked at the nameplate above his locker and stopped in his tracks. He scanned the writing in the space that would normally have his name and No. 13, and he couldn’t help but smile. The words read,

This week, for most of the teams in Major League Baseball, will mark the midway point of the season. (The Orioles and Astros are just two games away from their 81st, though the Rays still have seven more to go to get there.) That sure did happen fast, didn’t it?

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays hit their way out of a few opportunities on Saturday afternoon at Tropicana Field, from a bases-loaded situation in the first inning to a spot with the winning run on base in the ninth. The Nationals’ stellar defense played Tampa Bay out of a couple

ST. PETERSBURG -- The pitch from Miles Mikolas would have been a ball, a changeup well outside the strike zone and quite a reach from where Jonathan Aranda stood in the left-handed batter’s box. It didn’t exactly come screaming off Aranda’s bat when he sliced it down the left-field line,

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

You can find two of the best changeups in baseball lurking at the backend of the Rays bullpen. And they couldn't be any more different. Bryan Baker is a strong candidate to represent Tampa Bay in Philadelphia at next month's All-Star Game thanks in part to his sterling changeup, which

It's the calm before the storm with the Draft, which is 23 days away. There were so many upsets in the NCAA Tournament that many top college talents' seasons ended earlier than expected. It's possible that only one first-rounder played in the Men's College World Series, and Alabama shortstop Justin

LOS ANGELES -- The Rays had a chance to silence Dodger Stadium and salvage another series in the ninth inning Wednesday afternoon. Trailing by a run, they loaded the bases with two outs against left-hander Alex Vesia before Cedric Mullins struck out. The crowd roared, and the Rays headed home
