Ray’s Rundown 8/5: Health and Performance

Ray Flowers starts off with a quick review of the trading deadline and what went down. The case of Shane McClanahan and the ever-present injury situation with the Rays.

1 – What is he dealing with right now?

2 – This is not his first injury this season.

3 – He’s starting to flash some troubling splits.

Career	K-Rate	K-BB%	WHIP	xFIP	wOBA
1st Half	30.3	23.0	1.03	2.94	.267
2nd Half	23.9	17.2	1.24	3.50	.304

4 – Other injuries: Springs/Rasmussen/Baz season-ending surgery/ Kittridge never pitches. Glasnow missed two months. Interestingly TB is just 9^th in games missed on the hill with pitchers on the IL. From Spottrac.

5 – Only two active pitchers on the Rays club have made five starts this season (Eflin 21, Glasnow 12)… and that’s gross.

6 – Taj Bradley, with 16 starts, could be back up to take spot of Shane?

Moving on from Tampa, Ray will talk about FAAB this week a bit. Let’s check in with a few players: Curtis Mead promoted, Trea Turner (hitting 8^th now), Josh Naylor (IL – oblique), EDLC (strikeouts), Ryan Mountcastle (going bananas), Ryan Jeffers (crushing), Byron Buxton (hamstring), Joe Ryan (groin – IL), Nathan Eovaldi (forearm), JP France (bullpen?), Chris Sale (shoulder), Walker Buehler (elbow), Joe Musgrove (shoulder), Mitch Keller (frustrates), Jack Flaherty (impresses), Max Fried (dominates), Cole Hamels (retires), Joe Musgrove (shoulder).
