Griffin Jax

Griffin Jax blew the save in Saturday’s 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing a two-run single in the 10th inning to rookie JJ Wetherholt.

Fantasy Impact

Jax is off to a rough start this season, blowing both of his save opportunities across two appearances. He holds an 18.00 ERA and 3.00 WHIP through one inning of work, and the Tampa Bay Rays, who were already operating with a closer-by-committee approach, could turn to Bryan Baker or Garrett Cleavinger for the next save chance.

Griffin Jax blew the save in Thursday’s 9-7 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing a two-run home run to Alec Burleson. He finished with one earned run on one hit over two-thirds of an inning.

Trailing 7-1, the Cardinals mounted an eight-run rally in the sixth inning, highlighted by a two-run home run from Burleson that gave them the lead. Jax is part of a closer-by-committee alongside southpaw Garrett Cleavinger, who also struggled and was tagged with the loss after allowing two earned runs on two hits in one-third of an inning, and Bryan Baker, who did not pitch in the game. Jax will look to bounce back in his next opportunity, but the Rays are likely to continue using a closer-by-committee approach until someone separates from the group.

The Rays signed RHP Griffin Jax to a one-year, $3.565 million deal to avoid arbitration.

Jax ended last season with Tampa Bay following a trade at the deadline. He'll look to bounce back following what was a down year.
