Rays Manager Kevin Cash's decision to delay Blake Snell’s next start until Monday in New York was both to line up his ace against a key divisional foe and to give Snell a few extra days of rest as they begin to monitor his workload in the second half. (Marc Topkin, TampaBay.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Snell is coming off of a career-high 180 2/3 innings pitched in 2018 and is already at 90 through the first half of 2019. With the Rays eyeing a potential deep postseason run, they want to be sure that pitchers Snell and Charlie Morton are both healthy and not overworked before they get there.
