Collects win Friday Fleming (8-5) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in five innings, earning the win over Boston on Friday.

Impact It was by no means a pretty performance for the 25-year-old, but Tampa Bay's offense gave him plenty of support in the win. Friday was the first time Fleming completed five innings since June 19 when he went 6.1 innings against Seattle. The southpaw has a reasonable 4.15 ERA to go with a 1.19 WHIP and 51:22 K:BB across 82.1 innings, but he'll have little appeal outside of AL-only formats if he doesn't work deeper into games. His next start is expected to come versus Seattle next week.

Tosses four innings Friday Fleming didn't factor into the decision Friday against Cleveland after allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while fanning one across four innings.

Impact Fleming has not completed five innings in any of his last four starts and hasn't tossed a quality start since May 1, so it seems he simply can't be trusted to pitch deep into games. The southpaw has also allowed at least three runs in three of his last five outings while posting an 11:7 K:BB in that span.

Hit hard in Saturday's loss Fleming (7-5) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He also struck out two and hit a batter.

Impact The young left-hander had his worst outing as a big-leaguer yet, allowing a pair of home runs in same-handed confrontations with Joc Pederson and Freddie Freeman to account for part of the damage. Atlanta bats were able to square up consistently against Fleming, considering Kevan Smith, opposing starter Max Fried, Ozzie Albies and Guillermo Heredia all laced doubles off him as well. Fleming will look to regroup and bounce back in his next turn, which will likely come Thursday or Friday versus Cleveland.

Credited with win Fleming (7-4) earned the win in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Cleveland. He allowed just one walk and struck out two over 2.2 scoreless innings.

Impact Fleming was excellent in his return from a short stay on the injured list with a calf injury. The southpaw and four other Tampa Bay pitches combined to limit Cleveland to just two walks in the seven-inning contest. Fleming lowered his ERA to 3.26 with a 1.03 WHIP and 42:17 K:BB through 69 innings this year. The 25-year-old has started six of his 14 appearances, but his role going forward has not yet been determined, although he's pitched well enough to maintain a spot in the rotation.

Officially activated Wednesday Fleming (calf) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Although Collin McHugh will serve as the opener in Wednesday's nightcap, Fleming will likely serve as the primary pitcher after he spent just over the minimum amount of time on the injured list with a right calf strain. The lefty has made 13 appearances (six starts) for the Rays this year, and he's posted a 3.39 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 66.1 innings. Left-hander Ryan Sherriff was sent down in a corresponding move.

Impact The left-hander will end up spending just the minimum 10 days on the IL if Cash's prognosis proves accurate. Michael Wacha is currently listed as the Rays' probable starter for Tuesday's game, but it's possible Cash eventually confirms the veteran and Fleming will operate in tandem for that game.
