Impact Wednesday will mark the eighth start of the season for Beeks, who holds a 6.27 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 37.1 frames on the year. The Rays are already planning on Wednesday's contest being a bullpen game, so Beeks will likely remain in the game only for an inning or two.

Slated to open Tuesday's game Beeks is listed as the Rays' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Though the team hasn't confirmed as much, Yonny Chirinos is likely to operate as a bulk reliever behind Beeks, who will be making his seventh start of the season. In his previous six starts, Beeks has covered between 1.2 and three innings on each occasion while pitching to a cumulative 2.13 ERA and 1.03 WHIP.

Earns first save Beeks picked up the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Cubs, striking out one in two-thirds of an inning.

The 29-year-old left-hander lowered his ERA to 4.45 with a 1.24 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB through 28.1 innings this season. Beeks could continue to see an increased role while Pete Fairbanks (hip) is sidelined, though Jason Adam is still the most likely the preferred ninth-inning option.

Does job as opener Beeks pitched two scoreless innings against the Mets as Tuesday's opener. He allowed one hit and struck out two.

Impact Beeks cruised through the opening two frames on 26 pitches while allowing just an infield single to Francisco Lindor. He and Yonny Chirinos have worked as a tandem on two straight occasions now, and manager Kevin Cash may continue to roll with it at least until Tyler Glasnow (oblique) is ready to return to the rotation. Beeks now has four consecutive scoreless outings and has pitched more than an inning in four of his six appearances in May. He sits at a 4.91 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB over 22 innings.

Clean outing as opener Beeks tossed two shutout innings as Wednesday's opener against the Orioles, allowing one hit and striking out two.

Impact Beeks was named the opener for Wednesday's contest and did his job before handing the ball off to Yonny Chirinos. The 29-year-old has not been particularly effective overall this season. He owns a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:10 K:BB across 18 innings. His strikeout to walk ratio is currently the worst it's been over his five-year career and his 5.14 FIP would be the highest. He'll look to build off Wednesday's effort and produce some more scoreless outings.

MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Working as opener Wednesday Beeks will be the opener for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lit up for five funs in loss Beeks (0-2) allowed five runs on four hits while managing to only get through two-thirds of an inning in the loss to the White Sox on Sunday.

Impact Beeks came in to try and shut things down in the ninth with the Rays up 9-5 and put together an absolutely disastrous performance. Romy Gonzalez lined out to open up the inning and he got a second out on a sacrifice fly, but allowed three singles, a double and he hit a batter, which led to three runs for the Sox. He was replaced by Garrett Cleavinger with men on first and second, and couldn't get bailed out after Cleavinger allowed an inherited runner to score on another base hit before surrendering a three-run walkoff blast to Andrew Vaughn. Beeks did not register a single whiff on 23 pitches and now has an inflated 7.43 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 8:8 K:BB over 13.1 innings.
