2 years agoTampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that closer Andrew Kittredge (elbow) is likely headed for surgery to have a loose body removed from his elbow, and he'll be out at least a month. Kittredge went back on the injured list on Thursday, and although it could've been worse, he'll still be out for an extended period of time. The 32-year-old right-hander has been strong for fantasy managers this year when healthy, recording a 3.15 ERA, 14 strikeouts and five saves in 20 innings pitched, so he deserves to be stashed in an IL spot. In his absence, the Rays are likely to go with a closer committee, potentially headed by Colin Poche, who recorded Tampa's last save on June 3. However, names like Jason Adam, Brooks Raley, Matt Wisler, Jalen Beeks and Ryan Thompson could also see save opportunities here and there.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
