With the regular season nearly wrapping up, injuries are still commonplace for the Tampa Bay Rays as two more of their usual starts are dealing with ailments.
Kevin Kiermaier, who has spent a fare chunk of the season on the disabled list already, is out due to illness, showing multiple flu-like symptoms. The team is hoping that it turns out to be a severe head cold.
Matt Duffy meanwhile has been dealing with a strained lower back.
Duffy, according to Cash, has been dealing with lower back strain/tightness, and hopes to learn more when re-evaluation.
