TYLER GLASNOW NEWS

Fails to finish third inning Glasnow (0-1) took the loss in the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees, allowing four runs on five hits in just 2.2 innings of work, striking out five while w...

Impact Glasnow has failed to pitch long enough to earn a win in any of his three outings this season, though this time that was due to poor performance rather than by design. He matched Gerrit Cole with a pair of scoreless innings to start the game, getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the second, but he allowed a two-run homer to Mike Ford and a two-run double to Gio Urshela in the third, forcing him out of the game. He now owns a 5.56 ERA through his first three starts, with his 37.3 percent strikeout rate being offset by 15.7 percent walk rate and a 30.0 percent HR/FB rate.

Among toughest matchups in majors Glasnow, who allowed two earned runs on three hits and three walks while recording five strikeouts over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Orioles on Saturday, is developing...

Impact As Saturday's line indicates, Glasnow still has some work to do on his control, which has often been an albatross for his first four seasons coming into 2020. However, Kelly points out the combination of Glasnow's 97 mph fastball with his towering 6-foot-8 frame and expansive wingspan make him quite the intimidating sight from a batter's box view. The right-hander's 7.6 feet of average extension from the pitching rubber to the plate before uncorking a pitch ranked tops in the majors last season by a comfortable margin, and his four-pitch arsenal, which includes a fastball that can either ride high in the zone or cut to his glove side, makes life all that more difficult on hitters. Glasnow's struggles Saturday largely stemmed from poor location, but he offered a glimpse of how dominant he can be by racking up nine strikeouts and allowing just an earned run on a solo home run over four innings to the Braves in his first start of the season Monday.

On bench Saturday Stewart will not start Saturday's game against the Rays.

Impact Stewart doesn't appear to have a true starting role in Baltimore this season, as he's now been on the bench three times in the team's first seven games. Saturday's game marks the first time he's been out of the starting lineup against a righty (Tyler Glasnow, in this case). Dwight Smith will start in left field in his absence.

On pitch count in season debut Chirinos will start Tuesday against the Braves but won't be asked to pitch deep into the game, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Manager Kevin Cash said that expectations for the length of Chirinos' start were similar to those for Tyler Glasnow ahead of his start Monday, in which he threw 72 pitches over four innings. Chirinos threw 62 pitches in a simulated game Thursday after missing most of camp due to a positive COVID-19 test, so he should have no problem throwing roughly 75 pitches in this outing.

Records win in '20 debut Castillo (1-0) was credited with the win in Monday's rout of the Braves, firing a scoreless fifth inning during which he didn't allow any hits or walks and recorded two strikeouts.

Impact Just activated from the paternity list earlier in the day, Castillo was put right to work after starter Tyler Glasnow already had Toronto hitters reeling with nine strikeouts over the first four frames. Castillo kept up the trend of missing bats, firing eight of his 10 pitches into the strike zone while retiring Austin Riley and William Contreras for his two strikeouts. The right-hander's strong start is an encouraging sign manager Kevin Cash has yet another viable weapon in his bullpen arsenal to attack with in the shortened season.

Dominant in short outing Glasnow didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 14-5 romp over Atlanta, allowing one run on one hit and two walks over four innings while striking out nine.

Impact The Rays gave him plenty of run support, but Glasnow was on a restricted pitch count and got pulled after 72 pitches (45 strikes), denying him the win despite his dominance. The right-hander had similar issues last season when he was healthy, averaging barely five innings over his 12 starts, but the 1.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 11.3 K/9 he posted in 2019 highlight his sky-high upside.

Ready for Monday's start Glasnow will take it one inning at a time in Monday's home start against the Braves, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact He threw three innings in his final exhibition start in camp and was just so-so, as he struck out five but walked four. It sounds like Glasnow could theoretically go five-plus innings if he's on, but it also wouldn't be surprising if he didn't go deep enough to qualify for a win in his first start of the season. He lines up for a two-step, with his second start of the week coming in Baltimore over the weekend.

So-so in final camp start Glasnow allowed two hits and four walks over three innings while recording five strikeouts during Monday's intrasquad start, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "The feel f...

Impact As his line implies, Glasnow was a mixed bag in his intrasquad duel versus Blake Snell, with the big right-hander clearly fooling some of his teammates but also experiencing some trouble with location. One of the misplaced offerings resulted in the hardest-hit ball of the contest, a home run by Ji-Man Choi to right field. Glasnow lines up to start either the third or fourth game of the season against the Blue Jays next Sunday or Monday, and manager Kevin Cash attributed some of Glasnow's control issues Monday to the "workload restraints" of the shutdown and summer camp.

Showing well at camp Perez is making a strong bid for the backup catcher job in summer camp, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. "[He's] a guy that is starting to come into his own," said Rays manager Kev...

Impact Perez had slugged a pair of home runs before spring training was suspended, and he's impressed thus far in summer camp with multiple strong at-bats during simulated games. That includes Tuesday, when he laced a double off the returning Tyler Glasnow. Perez is trying to ward off a couple of capable veterans in Kevan Smith and Chris Herrmann for an Opening Day roster spot, and Cash talked up the emerging backstop as a player that could take advantage of his opportunity in similar fashion to how Travis d'Arnaud did on last year's playoff team.
