Bullpen SOS: Who might be the next man up?

When the Rays lost to the Yankees in extra innings last night, their bullpen had blown a two-run and then a three-run lead. The worst offenders were probably Colin Poche, who simply has not found his way back after surgery (ignore his 3.20 ERA, his 5.38 FIP seems more consistent with his performance), and Jalen Beeks, who has been more effective overall, but who did not have it last night and owns a 4.95 ERA/4.62 FIP over his last 20 innings.

Overall, the Rays bullpen has not been nearly as problematic as some frustrated fans might claim, with the seventh best ERA in the majors.
