Entering play on Thursday, the Tampa Bay Rays rotation was unrecognizable from the one that was on display in last year’s World Series. Without Blake Snell, Charlie Morton, and Tyler Glasnow, the only remaining starters were Josh Fleming and Ryan Yarbrough.
Currently only Fleming remains as Ryan Yarbrough has landed on the Covid-IL. That leaves the starting rotation looking something like this when Yarbs is healthy,
Shane McClanahan, Luis Patiño, Ryan Yarbrough, Michael Wacha, and TBD.
McClanahan, a rookie, has been good and will continue to improve with experience. Patiño, who is only twenty-one, has electric stuff and is on the cusp of putting everything together.
