d’Arnaud acquisition shows Rays front office means business

Those plucky, lovable, underdog Yankees (I hope you can taste the sarcasm through your computer screen) ground out a 4-3 win — the grit! the heart! — on the back of Gio Urshela (yes, that Gio Urshela), and Rays early-season ace Tyler Glasnow exited the game in the sixth with what has been diagnosed as a forearm strain (he’s expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks).
All that on the back off the news earlier in the day that Mike Zunino would be out longer than anticipated, leaving the Rays without their top two catchers for nearly a month (backup Michael Perez picked up an oblique issue earlier in the week).
