Jose Martinez, Yonny Chirinos Expected To Be Ready

4 years agoTampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said the team expects both first baseman/outfielder Jose Martinez and pitcher Yonny Chirinos to be ready to be on the Opening Day roster. Both players were out until this past weekend after testing positive for COVID-19. It remains to be seen how much either player will be able to handle right out of the gates, however. Martinez can hit for power and average, but he likely will be a part-time player in Tampa's lineup, seeing most of his at-bats against left-handed starters. Chirinos is a valuable asset to Tampa's pitching staff, as he pitched in 26 games last year (18 starts) and had a 3.85 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 7.7 K/9 in 133 1/3 innings. He's likely to serve in a relief role out of the gates, though, likely limiting his fantasy appeal.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
