2 years agoTampa Bay Rays right-hander Shane Baz (elbow) said his last checkup went well and he's feeling good, and he will start throwing on Monday. Baz is planning as if he will pitch again in games this season, but he knows there may not be enough time and the decision ultimately may not be his to make. The 23-year-old is currently on the 60-day injured list due to a right elbow sprain, and the Rays surely won't rush him back if they aren't confident that he's fully healthy, although it would certainly be nice to have him for a postseason run. He'll be eligible to return on Sept. 9, but even if he makes it back before the end of the season, he won't be of much help to fantasy managers. Baz has made only six starts in 2022, allowing 15 earned runs on 27 hits (five homers) while walking nine and striking out 30 in 27 innings pitched.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
