BALTIMORE -- The Rays began the season with a four-man rotation due to the many off-days during the early part of their schedule.

They will have another off-day on Monday, which will seemingly allow them to reboot the front end of their rotation on Wednesday with Chris Archer. They would have then needed a fifth starter once the White Sox come to St. Petersburg next weekend.

However, Rays manager Kevin Cash is now hinting that Wednesday might be the day they elect to use a fifth starter.

"We could factor in [April] 13th," Cash said.
