Placed on 60-day IL Beeks (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Beeks is expected to miss most or all of the 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in late August, so the move is simply procedural with pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training Wednesday. Beeks' placement on the 60-day IL will clear room for left-hander Jeffrey Springs and right-hander Chris Mazza, who were acquired from the Red Sox on Wednesday via trade.

Rays try to cope with mounting pitching injuries: ‘We’ve seen so many guys go down' Jalen Beeks is the 10th to be sidelined for Tampa Bay and the fifth who will miss the remainder of the season.

Out with torn UCL Beeks was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his left elbow Wednesday and could require Tommy John surgery, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The 27-year-old was placed on the 45-day injured list and ruled out for the season with a left elbow sprain Wednesday, but the specific diagnosis of a torn UCL could indicate a much longer absence. Teammate Andrew Kittedge recently suffered the same injury and is attempting rehab before potentially undergoing Tommy John surgery, but the team has yet to provide the plans for Beeks' recovery.

Placed on 45-day injured list Beeks was placed on the 45-day injured list with a left elbow sprain Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Beeks was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Orioles with an elbow issue, and he'll miss the remainder of the season as a result. It's unclear whether he'll be ready for the start of the 2021 season. Ryan Sherriff was recalled by the Rays in a corresponding move.

Leaves with arm injury Beeks was removed from Tuesday's game against the Orioles with an elbow/forearm injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The 27-year-old delivered 1.1 scoreless frames and was in line to secure the two-inning save before exiting the contest. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but according to Topkin, some team officials fear he could be dealing with a UCL injury. Beeks should be evaluated further Wednesday and should be considered day-to-day in the meantime.

Glasnow records 13 strikeouts as Rays beat Orioles 4-2

Tyler Glasnow struck out a career-high 13 over seven innings and the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-2

AUGUST 26, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nabs save Beeks did not allow a baserunner and struck out both of the batters he faced to earn the save Wednesday against the Yankees.

Impact Beeks was called upon to record the final two outs with runners on first and second and a 4-2 lead. After striking out Miguel Andujar on three pitches, Beeks fired a wild pitch to Thairo Estrada prior to striking him out on the next three pitches. Beeks has been used mostly as a bulk reliever this season, but given the Rays' propensity to mix and match the closer role it's possible he gets occasional save chances. For the season, Beeks has a 4.02 ERA, but a 23:3 K:B across 15.2 frames.

Grabs second win Beeks (2-0) was credited with the victory in Thursday's win over the Red Sox, firing two scoreless innings in which he allowed a hit and issued a walk.

Impact After Tyler Glasnow scuffled through another rough outing, Beeks came on in the fifth inning to give manager Kevin Cash a pair of effective frames. It's exactly the type of role the left-hander is suited for considering his arm is built up for multiple innings, and Thursday's performance was a welcome bounce-back effort after he surrendered a pair of runs against the Yankees over 1.2 innings in his most recent outing.

Could be called on for starts Beeks is a candidate to potentially log some spot starts while Yonny Chirinos (triceps) and Charlie Morton (shoulder) are on the injured list, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Beeks is a natural candidate to help hold down the fort while the two starters are sidelined, considering he's capable of handling multiple innings without issue and logged three starts for the Rays last season among his 33 appearances. While Beeks isn't likely built up for a six- or seven-inning workload, it's easy to envision manager Kevin Cash piecing together a Beeks-Trevor Richards tandem, for example, to cover the majority of innings in a given game. The left-hander has already made six appearances this season, all in relief, posting an elevated 5.06 ERA that he's partly offset with an excellent 18:3 K:BB over 10.2 innings.
