Shoemaker's last start was an interesting one, as the veteran was ejected after the fourth inning. He felt as good as he had all season on the mound, though, and the Blue Jays would love to get a deep outing after Thursday's doubleheader.

0-2, 4.45 ERA, 21 SO
Yarbrough will be making his second consecutive start against the Blue Jays. In the previous one, he tossed three scoreless innings before the game was suspended due to rain. The Rays are 3-2 in games started by Yarbrough this season.

Fulmer continues to build velocity in his return from Tommy John surgery, but he paid for two homers and deep counts in a loss to the Indians at Comerica Park on Sunday. He gets a shot at revenge in Cleveland, where he made his last start in 2018.
RHP
1-2, 6.88 ERA, 9 SO
After two consecutive turns through the rotation in place of Mike Clevinger, Plutko will look to settle in on Friday against the Tigers. He gave up three runs Sunday in Detroit over just 2 2/3 frames.

LHP
0-2, 10.13 ERA, 8 SO
Means will be on a short rope again, probably allowed to throw around 50 pitches and likely piggybacked by Jorge López. The lefty is being built back up after missing time to arm fatigue and the death of his father.

DeSclafani is coming off the worst start of his career, allowing nine earned runs over two innings vs. the Pirates on Aug. 13. He might have been tipping his pitches, as hitters were all over his fastball in hitting three homers.
RHP
0-2, 3.46 ERA, 13 SO
As he builds up arm strength, Hudson went only four innings Sunday against the White Sox after a lengthy first inning increased his pitch count. Despite being handed the loss, Hudson allowed just one run on two hits while striking out three.

Gray had been concerned that his velocity was in the 94-95 range. But in his last start (seven strikeouts in seven innings vs. the Rangers), he played the fastball well off his secondary pitches.

1-0, 4.32 ERA, 28 SO
The slow start continues for Buehler, who was roughed up for five runs (four earned) in 4 2/3 innings against the Angels. Manager Dave Roberts said Buehler looks close to his normal self, but the 5.21 ERA doesn't.

Ray ditched most of the mechanical changes he made in the offseason during his last start and saw improvement. He allowed one run over five innings, but he issued six walks, matching his career high, so it's still a work in progress.

Webb gave up three runs over 4 1/3 innings in his last start vs. the A's on Sunday. He made his MLB debut against the D-backs last year and earned a win after allowing two runs (one earned) over five innings.
