Struggles again in second loss Baz (3-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Phillies after allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact After giving up a season-high seven runs on nine hits in his last start, Baz struggled mightily once again. Wednesday matched his shortest outing of the season, and the right-hander has now yielded five runs or greater in three of his last four appearances. During this stretch, Baz has a 8.38 ERA and 13:10 K:BB over 19.1 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next scheduled start against the Blue Jays, who have a weak .643 OPS against right-handed pitching through 35 games.

Takes first loss Baz (3-1) took the loss Thursday against the Royals, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out one.

Impact Baz managed to work around traffic to keep the Royals off the board in his first three innings. He'd eventually give up a run in the fourth before Kansas City exploded for six runs over Baz's final 2.2 frames. The right-hander has been excellent in four of his six starts this year, allowing just three runs in 26 innings. However, he's now given up 12 runs across nine frames in his other two outings. Overall, Baz sports a 3.86 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB this season. He'll look to rebound in his next start, currently scheduled for next week against the Phillies.

Impact The Rays are in the midst of a busy period in their schedule, so the team has elected to temporarily add a sixth man to the rotation to afford an additional day of rest for all five of its starting pitchers. Joe Boyle was recalled from Triple-A Durham and will take the hill Sunday, though Topkin suggests that the right-hander is merely making a spot start and will either shift to the bullpen or head back to the minors after the game. Baz now tentatively lines up for two starts during the upcoming week, with his second turn expected to come next Saturday at home versus the Yankees.
