Rays’ Steven Souza Jr. headed back to disabled list with broken hand

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Rays can’t catch a break. Except for the wrong kind, that is. Outfielder Steven Souza Jr., who leads the team in home runs with 15 despite not hitting one in a month, will go on the disabled list with a broken hand. He was hit by a pitch by Boston pitcher Joe Kelly in the fifth inning. The Rays had just gotten Souza back into the lineup after he received a lacerated finger after being hit by…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Rays have pulled Matt Moore from the rotation. The only question: What took them so long? The Rays demoted Moore on Saturday night, just after he struggled again in an 11-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox, a loss that dropped the Rays to three games under .500 for the first time all year.

Tampa Bay Rays complete a forgettable month of bad baseball

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Nine years. More than a thousand games. And now, they’re back. Miserable again. The Tampa Bay Rays completed their worst month in years Friday night in Boston, dropping a 5-7 decision to the Red Sox that left them with a 9-16 record for the month of July, the worst record in the major leagues.

Rays trade reliever Kevin Jepsen to Minnesota for two minor leaguers

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Rays have messed with success. The Rays traded relief pitcher Kevin Jepson, one of their golden trio out of the bullpen this year. On most nights the Rays have won this season, it has been by getting five or so innings out of their starting pitcher and then an inning each out of Jepson, Jake McGee and Brad Boxberger. The Rays will get minor leaguers Chin Wa-Hu and Alexis Tapia ย from the Minnesota Twins in return. Hu…

Did Tigers get more for David Price than Rays did?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

This year, he was worth a high-ranking pitching prospect. Last year, he was worth a high-ranking pitching prospect. This year, he was the throw in price of a couple of minor league pitchers. Last year, he was worth the throw-in of a light-hitting infielder. So here’s a question: Did the Tigers get more for dealing David Price to the Blue Jays that the Tampa Bay Rays did for dealing him to the Tigers? One year later, it seems comparable. The…

Near-perfection isn’t good enough for Rays’ Chris Archer in loss

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Maybe David Archer should sue for non-support. Archer was dazzling Wednesday afternoon, retiring the first 19 battlers he faced and giving up no earned runs in his seven innings of work. But after getting 23 hits the previous two nights, the bats of the Tampa Bay Rays fell asleep once again, getting only four hits and one run. Not even the mighty Curt Casali, who had six homers in his previous six games, could save them. Casali was 0 for…

For crushing Curt Casali, the markings of stardom were all around him. Who would have expected all of this from a guy who just got to the Tampa Bay Rays? There was the standing ovation after his ninth-inning strikeout, followed by his first-ever curtain call, a tip of a cap from a guy who barely knew what he was doing. There was his Gatorade bath, his second in two nights. There were all the texts from all of his friends,…
