Fantasy Impact:

Baz was scratched from Thursday's start at Triple-A Durham just in case the Rays decide to bring him up. The 22-year-old is considered one of the best pitching prospects in baseball. In 78 1/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A he has registered a 2.06 ERA with 113 strikeouts. Baz would qualify as a streaming candidate if he receives the call, but expectations should be kept in check considering how rookies have performed overall this year.
