PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Pitchers and catchers aren’t required to report until Wednesday, but the Rays had close to 30 players attend an optional workout at Charlotte Sports Park on Monday.

Tyler Glasnow, Willy Adames, Nick Anderson, José Martínez, Yonny Chirinos, Ryan Yarbrough, Diego Castillo and José Alvarado were among the players who attended Monday’s workout, each throwing a bullpen session. In the back fields, No. 1 prospect Wander Franco, Moises Gomez and 2019 first-round Draft pick Greg Jones were all taking batting practice.

“If you see the last couple of years, this team has been good,” Martínez said. “We have great pitching, that’s not a surprise and everybody knows that. The thing is just going out there and doing the same, try to stay together and just have fun. That’s the main goal.”

By the end of the week, the Rays are expecting most of the players to have arrived at camp. Austin Meadows is expected on Sunday, while Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, who was unable to attend Saturday’s Fan Fest due to a visa issue, could arrive within the next couple of days.
