John Romano | The organization known for coddling starters is now throwing more innings than any rotation in baseball.

The Rays' bullpen has tossed 28.2 innings since their last off day, so Mason Englert is set to provide some much-needed reinforcements against the Red Sox.

Yandy Díaz hit a tying two-run homer in the fifth inning and his double in the eighth led to the eventual winning run as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Miami Marlins 3-2.

All these years later, the Rays’ use agreement at Tropicana Field is 90% completed, and still there is no hint of a long-term stadium solution in sight for Tampa Bay. There may, however, be a temporary solution.

Ian Seymour, who grew up 30 miles from Boston, showed out for his family and friends in the Tampa Bay Rays' extra-inning victory at Fenway Park on Monday.

Jesús Sánchez had a three-run homer and a two-run double, and Heriberto Hernandez singled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning as the Miami Marlins outlasted Christopher Morel and the Tampa Bay Rays 11-10 on Saturday to snap a five-game losing streak.

Roman Anthony's second MLB game is off to a better start than his first. Anthony went 0 for 4 with an RBI and an error in his MLB debut on Monday, just hours after the Red Sox called him up as the No. 1 prospect in baseball. The Red Sox lost to the Tampa Bay Rays, 10-8.

If Chandler Simpson is smarting after the Tampa Bay Rays sent him to Triple-A Durham, he isn’t showing it. Simpson, 24, went 5-for-5 Sunday as the Durham Bulls routed the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Miami Marlins affiliate) 10-2.

As the formal session was breaking up, Junior Caminero, the team’s current young, rising star third baseman, walked in to pay his respects to the three-time All-Star third baseman in what the Rays can hope was a meeting of past and future greatness.
