HERE COMES THOSE PESKY RAYS ONLY 9 BACK

Tyler Glasnow (elbow) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Tuesday.​

Glasnow is expected to throw his final bullpen session on Tuesday before progressing to facing hitters in a live batting practice session later this week. The 28-year-old fantasy ace is in the late stages of his recovery from Tommy John elbow reconstructive surgery and the Rays haven't ruled out the possibility of a late-season return. He's worthy of a speculative stash for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues.

Yeah, Giants will probably be 0-5 by then.

Good call.

Jets will likely have 1 win and the entire rookie class as well as the QB will be hurt.

Stanton hasn't hit as well as he did with the Marlins, but I don't think it's that out of line with the rest of his career. 2014 and 2017 were career years (he had a career high BABIP in 2014 and he had a career high HR/FB rate in 2017). His power numbers since going from Florida to NY have been fairly disappointing. He's gone from a .288 ISO as a Marlin to .247 with the Yankees. That's still an elite figure, but that's a pretty big drop. He's been hitting considerably more groundballs and fewer flyballs since 2017.

There's also the matter of injuries. He's only played 418 games in 4.5 seasons as a Yankee. The injuries (and Judge to some extent) have also limited him to mostly DHing, which has hurt some of his value (he was a pretty good defender with the Marlins).

Everytime we play Tampa Bay. Kiermeier is too good in CF.

He always seems to make a ridiculous play or get a well timed hit against us.

You have to stay optimistic these days. And they are playing the Browns in week 2.

and then theres this

Rays placed OF Kevin Kiermaier on the 10-day injured list with left hip inflammation.​

Kiermaier, who received a cortisone shot on Tuesday, has battled through several leg issues recently and was removed from Monday's contest against the Yankees with left hip inflammation. It doesn't sound like he'll require a lengthy absence, but he needs some time off to rest and put the omnipresent leg issues behind him
