Stellar in '20 debut Beeks fired two scoreless innings during which he allowed one hit and recorded five strikeouts in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.

Impact Beeks earned an Opening Day roster spot with an impressive summer camp and immediately offered a reminder of his value to the Rays with Friday's performance. With starter Charlie Morton out of the game after four innings and 80 pitches, Beeks teamed with Ryan Thompson to eat up multiple innings in the middle of the game. The left-hander is likely set for plenty of similar assignments, especially in the early portion of the season when starters are still building up their arms.

Impact Cash's comments certainly imply Beeks is on track to make the Opening Day roster, and it isn't surprising by any stretch for a number of reasons. The southpaw demonstrated his value last season by making three starts among his 33 appearances and fashioning a 6-3 record. Beeks did exhibit some control issues with a 3.5 BB/9, but he demonstrated sharp location while pitching to a 1.93 ERA over 9.1 innings during Grapefruit League play this spring. Beeks ability to cover multiple innings will be particularly valuable in a season as unique as 2020, especially with Yonny Chirinos and Brendan McKay both still out of summer camp for undisclosed reasons and consequently looking uncertain to be available for the start of the regular season.

Impact The left-hander is certainly capable of handling starting assignments if called upon to do so, as he opened 94 minor-league games over seven stops in the Red Sox organization. Beeks also logged three starts for the Rays last season and threw two or ore innings on 40 occasions overall. Given the aforementioned temporary vacancies on the pitching depth chart, the expectation is Beeks will continue to have his arm built up over what remains of summer camp.
