TAMPA BAY RAYS NEWS

Jacob Lopez - Drawing start Sunday The Rays will recall Lopez from Triple-A Durham to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact He'll be joining the big club as a replacement in the rotation for Shane Baz (illness), who was scratched a day in advance of his scheduled start Sunday while he battles the flu. The Rays haven't indicated yet that Baz's illness is serious enough to force him to the injured list, so Lopez could be headed back to Durham following Sunday's outing. Lopez previously made a start for the Rays in 2023, but all three of his appearances for Tampa Bay in 2024 have come out of the bullpen. He holds a 4.08 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 84:33 K:BB across 70.2 innings over his 17 outings (15 starts) with Durham this season.

Shane Baz - Scratched from Sunday start Baz is battling the flu and won't start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Baz is feeling under the weather and won't make his scheduled start. It's unclear if the Rays intend to push Baz back or skip his turn in the rotation entirely, and they have yet to name a replacement starter for Sunday. If Baz gets skipped over, he'll have five days of rest before his next outing -- which is tentatively scheduled to come Saturday against San Diego.
