Rays Spring Training Update, Day 30: Franklin Suffers Oblique Injury, On Other Rays’ Injuries and Roster Moves

The Tampa Bay Rays were met with another round of injury news Monday. Just a few hours after Nick Franklin was told he would platoon second base with Logan Forsythe, the infielder suffered what he called a “severe” left oblique strain on the last swing of batting practice prior to the game. It is uncertain if Franklin underwent an MRI, or if he was diagnosed by Ron Porterfield, so the extent of the injury is unknown at the time of press.

Rays Spring Training Update, Day 29: Cash Close to Naming the Starting Rotation, Names Cabrera as the Starting SS

Despite the outcome of the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 blanking of the Tampa Bay Rays, the team ended the week with a 9-8-1 Grapefruit League record after winning five of their last seven — averaging five runs per game over a seven game stretch. The Rays will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates, Monday in Port Charlotte, ahead of their last off-day of the spring Tuesday.

Rays Spring Training Update, Day 28; Rays Walk-It-Off, Odorizzi Solid

The Tampa Bay Rays won in walk-off fashion Saturday, as Allan Dykstra capped a three-run ninth with a two-run homer to right in a 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. Jake Odorizzi was impressive Saturday, becoming the first Ray to work into the sixth inning of a Grapefruit League game. It should be noted, Tampa Bay took the Knutson Cup from the Twins, Thursday.

Rays Spring Training Update, Day 27; Rays Thumped 11-5, Smith Optioned, Souza Receives Precautionary MRI

Let me turn back the clock to Wednesday afternoon, when the Tampa Bay Rays crushed the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 9-3? With the loss fresh in their memory, the Jays returned the favor Friday, pounding the Rays 11-5 in an error laden, and home run filled loss.
