Tampa Bay Rays

Bryan Baker allowed no earned runs on no hits and one walk on 20 pitches to record the save in Thursday’s 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Fantasy Impact: Baker surrendered a leadoff hit to Andrew Benintendi in the ninth but quickly settled in, recording three straight outs to secure his fourth save of the season. While the Tampa Bay Rays continue to deploy a closer-by-committee approach, Baker has emerged as the favorite for ninth-inning duties. He leads the team with four saves and owns a 3.68 ERA and 0.97 WHIP on the year.

Steven Matz allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Fantasy Impact: Matz made his third start of April and continues to provide the Tampa Bay Rays with quality outings. He has posted a 2.76 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 19 strikeouts while limiting opponents to a .175 AVG across 16.1 innings. He has become a viable option in deeper leagues, especially with a favorable matchup on deck against the Cincinnati Reds in his next scheduled start on Tuesday. Cincinnati owns a .201 average and 27.3% strikeout rate against left-handed pitching this season.
