Rays promote Jake Bauers to boost struggling offense

The past week has been a rough one for the Rays.

The Rays have now dropped six games in a row following an 11-2 loss to Washington on Wednesday afternoon. They’ve been outscored 31-12 during that stretch; the offense has been stagnant over the past week and it needs a boost. Hopefully that boost will come from Jake Bauers, who the Rays announced would be called up for Thursday’s game against Seattle.

Fangraphs has Bauers as the fourth-rated prospect in the Rays organization and the 43rd ranked prospect in MLB. This could be a significant addition for the Rays as Bauers has been a highly touted prospect for a few years now.
