| News | ||
| Triston McKenzie will be out for up to eight weeks after an MRI revealed a strain of his right teres major muscle. Vince DiSilvio Mon, Mar 27th | Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters that he is sure that Tyler Glasnow will begin the regular season on the IL due to an oblique injury sustained Monday.

| Triston McKenzie was removed from Sunday's start early due to right arm tightness. Vince DiSilvio Mon, Mar 27th | SP Tyler Glasnow sustained an oblique injury during a live batting practice session on Monday afternoon. Kelly Kirby - The Wonkypenguin Mon, Feb 27th | |
| Notes | ||
| Triston McKenzie reduced his BB/9 from 4.35 to 2.07 in 2022, skyrocketing up fantasy rankings and boosting the pitching staff for any manager who rolled the dice on him. The question becomes what his fourth MLB season will bring. His .237 BABIP is due for some regression, and his xFIP was 3.77. He struck out 191 batters in 191 1/3 innings, with a practically unhittable curveball. He does allow more hard contact than we'd like from an SP1, but he slots in nicely as an SP2/SP3 as long as fantasy managers account for some regression while drafting. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Tyler Glasnow was having an outstanding season in 2021 before requiring Tommy John surgery. He somehow made it back before the end of the 2022 season, starting two games and looking like the Glasnow of old. The 29-year-old's Steamer projections show a 2.96 xFIP and a K/9 north of 11, and his current ADP is 92. He is a risky SP2 and would be a much safer pick as a third or fourth starter. However, if he stays healthy, he has all the makings of an SP1. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
