LUIS PATIÑO NEWS

Yields two runs in no-decision Patino gave up two runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus Detroit on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander turned in another short start, but Tampa Bay's offense was able to get him off the hook after he exited down 2-1. Patino's ERA is at 4.62 with a 1.37 WHIP and 65:27 K:BB through 64.1 innings this year. With both Shane McClanahan (back) and Chris Archer (hip) on the injured list, Patino is likely to get another turn in the rotation, tentatively scheduled for a home rematch versus Detroit during next week's four-game series.

Start pushed to Sunday Patino will start Sunday against the Tigers rather than Saturday as previously scheduled, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Shane McClanahan (back) was scheduled to take the ball Sunday, but with him moving to the injured list, Patino's start moves back a day as Chris Archer lines up to toe the rubber Saturday. Patino will be looking to bounce back from a shaky outing against the Twins in which he allowed four runs on six hits and three walks over 2.2 innings.

Yanked in third inning Patino allowed four runs on six hits and three walks over 2.2 innings in Sunday's loss to Minnesota. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Most of the damage against Patino came in the second inning where he allowed three runs on four hits and a walk. It was his shortest appearance since April and just his second time giving up more than three runs in his last seven outings. The rookie right-hander now owns a 4.65 ERA with a 62:25 K:BB through 60 innings. Patino is projected to face the Tigers on the road next weekend.

Falls just short of quality start Patino (4-3) picked up the win in Monday's 6-1 victory over the Red Sox, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The rookie right-hander came up one out shy of his third quality start of the season, tossing 102 pitches (67 strikes) before exiting. The workload is encouraging, and the Rays seem confident the 21-year-old won't need to be treated with kid gloves down the stretch, although they have used their pitching depth to give everyone in the rotation extra rest days. In seven outings since the All-Star break, Patino has a 3.89 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB through 37 innings.

Pushed back in pitching schedule Patino isn't expected to make his next start until Monday's series opener versus the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact After making his last start Aug. 21, Patino appeared lined up to take the hill during this weekend's series in Baltimore, but the Rays will instead take advantage of their newfound rotation depth and push the 21-year-old right-hander back a couple days in the pitching schedule. Considering that Patino is already up to 81 innings in 2021 between the majors and Triple-A Durham after he tossed only 17.1 innings in 2020, the Rays are likely cognizant of managing the right-hander's workload down the stretch. Given that Patino has been one of the Rays' more reliable starters, he doesn't appear at risk of moving to the bullpen or being shut down just yet, but expect him to receive more time off between outings in light of the emergence of Drew Rasmussen and the return of Chris Archer from the injured list.

Cruises to win Patino (3-3) earned the win Saturday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on five hits in six innings, striking out five while walking one.

Impact The innings total tied a career high for the 21-year-old, who's flashed potential in his 12 outings this season despite a modest 4.53 ERA. He gave up a solo homer to Seby Zavala in the third and allowed another run on an RBI single by Eloy Jimenez in the sixth, but he didn't have to work out of too many jams throughout the game and came away with his second career quality start. He'll likely return to the mound during next weekend's three-game series in Baltimore.

Poor control in short start Patino took a no-decision in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins after working three innings and giving up two runs on two hits and five walks while striking out two.

Impact Patino didn't face a hard cap on his workload in his ninth start of the season, but thanks in large part to the season-high five walks, the Rays elected to pull him early after he needed 69 pitches to record nine outs. The rookie southpaw had been more efficient over his prior five outings -- he worked no fewer than five innings in any of those starts -- so fantasy managers shouldn't be too discouraged by the poor showing in Minnesota. That said, Patino doesn't make for a particularly comfortable lineup option in weekly leagues with his next start expected to come Friday versus the powerful White Sox offense.

Solid in no-decision Patino allowed four earned runs on six hits and three walks while recording seven strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday. He didn't factor into the decisio...

Impact The young right-hander's runs all came on home runs, with Hunter Renfroe's fourth-inning blast, which came with two aboard, doing most of the damage. Patino has now gone at least six frames in two of his last three starts, but he's also allowed a pair of round trippers in each of his last two trips to the mound. Now sporting a 4.64 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 42.2 innings, Patino will look for even better results and his first win since July 29 when he likely takes the hill early next week.

Stuck with loss Tuesday Patino (2-3) took the loss Tuesday as the Rays fell 4-2 to the Mariners, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Impact The rookie didn't pitch poorly, but a pair of solo shots in the third inning by Abraham Toro and Jarred Kelenic proved to be the difference in the game. Patino tossed 65 of 100 pitches for strikes, and that workload bodes well for his fantasy value down the stretch if he can become a little more efficient. On the season, the 21-year-old has a 4.42 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB through 36.2 innings.
