JALEN BEEKS NEWS

Allows one run in loss Beeks (0-1) took the loss Monday against the Reds, allowing one run on one hit and two walks over three innings. He struck out one.

Impact Beeks got his second start of the season in the series opener with Cincinnati. Despite only working through three innings, the 29-year-old lefty was solid, and his only mistake came on the game's first run following a Kevin Newman solo shot in the second inning. Beeks owns a 3.00 ERA and 6:3 K:BB across nine innings this year, but with Taj Bradley being called up from Triple-A Durham, we will likely see Beeks continue to rotate between a spot starter and relief role moving forward.

Serving as opener Monday Beeks will be the opener for the Rays on Monday against the Red Sox, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Beeks will be the official starter for the Rays for Monday's contest against Boston, but he'll only go an inning or two before giving way to Josh Fleming which will prevent him from being eligible for a victory. The left-hander has registered a 3.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in three innings over two appearances to begin the 2023 campaign.

Lands on injured list Beeks was placed on the 15-day injured list with right lower leg tightness Wednesday, retroactive to Sept. 18, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Beeks has performed well recently, striking out four in 3.2 scoreless innings over his last three appearances. However, he's dealing with a lower leg issue that will keep him sidelined until at least the Rays' final series of the regular season. It's not yet clear whether the southpaw will be able to return prior to the end of the regular season, but Dusten Knight was called up to take his place in the bullpen.
