Rays (Rasmussen) vs Blue Jays (Gausman): 5/11/26, 7:07pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's the Rays again. The Jays won't catch the Rays any time soon, but given that it's at home, time to chip away at that lead a little bit.

	WED	THU	FRI	SAT	SUN	TOT
Tyler Rogers	0	0	0	25	0	25
Tommy Nance	0	0	0	9	8	17
Spencer Miles	0	0	0	0	0	0

• Gausman vs. Rasmussen
• Corbin vs. McClanahan
• Cease vs. Jax

[Terminator]

Yariel is coming up. Surely it's for Lauer?  Then just slot Miles into his bulk pitcher role?

[Laika]

Hilarious stuff here. BV is the best C in the division?

Miles threw 38 pitches yesterday (and looked quite good in the process).

Love this chart btw.

Yea that's the logical choice, I guess they'll use him as a starter?  Yariel needs cleaning innings, he walks a s*** ton.

[Spanky__99]

This should be a banger tonight.

[Laika]

Barger to the IL with elbow inflammation. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pinango up. Yes. Good. Softens the Barger blow. 

Lauer DFA'd LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yariel up. Fine.

Really feel for the Lauer Fanboys....seems like it was only yesterday that they were certain that a DFA wasn't possible. Now their boy is in DFA limbo, waiting to sign with the Colorado Rockies.

[Rynodb1]

I was so excited to see what Barger could do this season to build off those playoffs. These injuries are depressing. 

[Spanky__99]

LETS f***IN' GO BIRDS Win this Series!!!

[Slade]

I'm going to assume Barger blew out his elbow after that 101 mph throw. 

Yariel has been coming out of the pen, I guess maybe they try to stretch Miles out and Yariel takes his spot in the pen until Garcia is ready? 

[Laika]

PTSD from the Bautista shoulder injury that never healed when he tried to throw out that dude at first base

[Terminator]

I read all of this on Twitter. Trust me.

• Barger's injury doesn't sound too bad. No bone chips, no ligament damage.
• Lauer Hour is over and the team is considering Miles, Dallas, Van Eyk, and outside options for the 5th starter role.
• Scherzer also got a cortisone shot in his thumb.
• Lukes will go on a rehab stint soon.
• Yimi Garcia was extra sore after his last rehab outing and will take a couple days off. Hoping he can throw in a game later this week.
• Kirk is hitting and throwing but not catching.
• Yariel will throw 1-2 inning outings. 
• Bieber will face live hitters for the first time on Tuesday.

Where Lauer will be heading this time next week....

North or South?

[RA Whiffleball]

Was Barger not playing the field in his rehab stint? This is such a strange injury.

[Jays24]

Sometimes throwing injuries doesnt impact your ability to hit so wonder if Springer taking up the DH spot is the reason for the IL stint.  

[Terminator]

Paddack could be worth a shot. Pitcherlist was on his nuts for a long time but he's never been able to put it together.

He probably gripped the ball too tight on that 101 mph throw to home and inflamed his elbow a bit. I guess he was amped up to be back.

Yeah, I’d definitely be willing to roll the dice on him as a back-end rotation guy who can give you innings.

At this point, you’re not asking him to be anything more than a stabilizer. If he can eat innings, keep you in games, and take pressure off the bullpen, there’s value in that.
 

[John_Havok]

Rasmussen is one of the new "3-fastball" starters relying primarily on a cutter, 4 seamer, and sinker, adding in the occasional change, an even more occasional curve and a nearly non-existant sweeper. 

Doesnt walk people and doesnt get barrelled.

He gunned a guy out at the plate throwing the ball at 101.2 MPH, and you think it's strange?

Limited arm movement suggests otherwise.

No thanks, friendo.
