Rays' Shane Baz: Labors in no-decision
Baz did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-8 extra-inning win against the Yankees, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts over 3.1 innings.
Baz entered with three straight quality starts but couldn't escape the fourth inning Saturday in his shortest outing of the season. He struggled with command, generating just eight whiffs on 83 pitches while issuing four walks for the second time in four starts. The 25-year-old will carry a 3.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 22.1 innings into a road matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

Rays' Shane Baz: Fans career-best 11 in win
Baz (2-0) earned the win Monday versus Boston, striking out 11 over six one-run innings. He allowed two hits and no walks.
Baz was utterly dominant in this 98-pitch outing, generating an incredible 17 whiffs to set a new career best in Ks at 11. The only blemish on the right-hander's performance was a solo shot hit by Kristian Campbell in the third inning. Baz now sports a 1.42 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB across 19 innings. The 25-year-old faces another tough lineup in his next start, currently projected to be against the Yankees at home this weekend.

Rays' Shane Baz: Pushed back to Monday
Baz will no longer start Sunday's game against Atlanta as planned and will instead make his next turn through the rotation Monday versus the Red Sox in Tampa, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The Rays are in the midst of a busy period in their schedule, so the team has elected to temporarily add a sixth man to the rotation. Joe Boyle was recalled from Triple-A Durham and will take the hill Sunday, and he will either shift to the bullpen or head back to the minors after the game. Baz now lines up for two starts during the upcoming week, with his second turn potentially coming next Saturday at home versus the Yankees.

Rays' Shane Baz: Fans six in no-decision
Baz allowed two runs on three hits and four walks over seven innings in a no-decision Tuesday. He struck out six during the loss to the Angels.
Baz faced a few threats, but the lone blemish on his outing was Kyren Paris' two-run shot in the second inning. Baz threw 58 of 96 pitches for strikes but generated only eight whiffs. He forced 13 swinging strikes in his first start of the season. Baz is sporting a 1.38 ERA with a 16:4 K:BB through 13 innings. His next outing is lined up to be at home against Atlanta this weekend.

Rays' Shane Baz: Dazzles in impressive win
Baz (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Pirates after tossing six scoreless innings while allowing seven hits and striking out 10.
Baz showcased ace stuff with the first double-digit strikeout game of his big-league career. His fastball averaged 97 MPH and touched 100.4, and his curveball was extremely effective with a 50 percent whiff rate. Baz ended 2024 with a 2.34 ERA and 0.82 WHIP over his final eight starts and could be in for a breakout campaign if he stays healthy. He's lined up to start next in the series opener against the Angels next Tuesday.

Rays' Shane Baz: Encouraged despite tough results
Baz was happy with his outing Thursday against the Nationals despite allowing four earned runs on five hits with two strikeouts and no walks across 4.1 innings, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Baz was hit hard early, as he allowed two singles and a homer to the first three batters he faced. He managed to settle in from there, and more importantly, both he and manager Kevin Cash were happy with the shape and execution of his pitches. Baz has allowed 10 earned runs with a 4:5 K:BB across 9.1 innings this spring, though his rotation spot seems secure given there haven't been signs of panic from either he or the team.

Rays' Shane Baz: Throws 50 pitches in spring debut
Baz threw three scoreless innings while striking out two, walking one and allowing two hits in Sunday's Grapefruit League game.
The outing was Baz's spring debut, and he threw 50 pitches -- 33 of which went for strikes. His velocity was also excellent, as he hit 100.6 mph with his first pitch of the game, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Baz will presumably be in the big-league rotation to begin the season, though Topkin did note the team has not committed to its five starters at this point in spring.
