Red Sox @ Rays Thursday, 10th September 2020 630pm @ The Dump
Kickham 1-0/ 5.40
Making his first start in the bigs since 2013. Dear Jesus.
Fleming 3-0/ 3.52
In his last outing allowed 4 runs over 5ip vs the Marlins.
Rays hoping bats heat up against Red Sox
For the Tampa Bay Rays' struggling offense, the Boston Red Sox can't get to Florida's Gulf Coast soon enough.
The American League East-leading Rays (28-15) host the division rival Red Sox (15-29) in a four-game series at Tropicana Field in their last meetings of the short season, starting Thursday night in St. Petersburg.
While the clubs are at opposite ends of the AL East -- Tampa Bay held a 3 1/2-game lead over Toronto entering Wednesday's games, last-place Boston trailed the Rays by 13 1/2 -- the leaders are dragging home a two-game losing streak while the Red Sox won their last time out against Philadelphia.
Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash can point to an obvious culprit for his team losing three of its last four games and seeing its division lead slip some -- quiet bats in his lineup.
Since the Rays returned from Yankee Stadium last Wednesday, the Rays won a series against the Miami Marlins and were swept in a two-game series by the Washington Nationals, and their nemesis was firmly planted at home plate.
Tampa Bay won a pair of one-run games against the Marlins but dropped the middle game of the series. Nationals pitchers Max Scherzer and Anibal Sanchez held the Rays in check in losses in the nation's capital.
Over the five games, the Rays batted just .195 (32-for-164) and couldn't come through in the clutch, leaving 34 runners on base.
"I think, more than anything, some nights, some days, some series you have a bunch of guys seeing the ball really well and having good at-bat after good at-bat and hitting balls hard," Cash said. "We can't find any consistency and rhythm in our lineup."
Austin Meadows, a 2019 All-Star, has watched his average nosedive from .244 to .202 in September after going 2-for-27 this month -- with 13 strikeouts and three walks and no extra-base hits or RBIs.
Added Cash, "We've got a handful of guys who are not being themselves for whatever reason. They're searching for it, and that's going to happen in the course of a season."
The Rays punished Red Sox pitching in a four-game sweep last month by scoring 42 runs -- including a season-high 17 in the finale -- as they batted .364 and boomed nine homers in their lone series in Fenway Park -- setting multiple team records on the trip.
Left-hander Josh Fleming (3-0, 3.52) has been a superb addition as the rotation's No. 5 starter, replacing Yonny Chirinos (Tommy John surgery) on Aug. 23. He has struck out 11 and shown keen control with just two walks in 15 1/3 innings.
Red Sox rookie Bobby Dalbec has injected a game-changing presence into manager Ron Roenicke's lineup.
Rated the organization's No. 3 prospect by MLB Pipeline, the 25-year-old infielder has homered in four consecutive games -- the only first-year Boston player to do that, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
"I've seen some great starts, but not the home runs like this," Roenicke said. "With all the things going on, it's great to see a young guy start off like that."
Like Fleming, Boston's Mike Kickham (1-0, 5.40) will make his first start against the opposition Thursday in the series opener. The left-hander, who earned his first career win in relief Saturday against Toronto, will start for the first time since 2013.
The Red Sox moved Andrew Benintendi (ribcage strain) to the 45-day injured list Tuesday, basically ending the left fielder's season. He hit just .103 (4-for-39) and injured himself while tripping as he ran the bases.

Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays Thursday, September 10, 2020 at 6:40pm EDT Written by Blake V.
Tampa Bay will be looking to bounce back from a small rough patch when it faces the worst team in the American League East on Thursday night. The Red Sox have had a frustrating season, but they have won three of their last five contests.
Red Sox in last place in AL East Boston has won three of its last five games heading into this contest, which marks one of its best stretches of the season. It has been a disastrous year for the Red Sox, who are 15-29 and are in dead last in the AL East. They are essentially out of the playoff hunt at this point. Boston split a doubleheader with Philadelphia on Tuesday, winning the second game of the twin bill, 5-2. Left fielder Alex Verdugo leads the team with 47 hits and 14 RBIs. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts has added 43 hits and 26 RBIs. Third baseman Rafael Devers has driven in a team-high 28 runs on 43 hits, including nine homers.
Mike Kickham will make the start for Boston on Thursday night. He is coming off his first major league win, where he threw two scoreless innings against Toronto last Saturday. This will be his first MLB start since 2013. The left-hander has thrown five innings in two appearances as a reliever this season. He allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four to pick up a win against Toronto. The Red Sox trailed by a run when he entered the game, but they scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to give him the win. Kickham gave up three earned runs on five hits and no walks across three innings against Atlanta in his previous start.
Rays in small losing patch Tampa Bay has dropped three of its last four games. The Rays were swept by Washington in a two-game series earlier this week. They still lead the American League East, but they only have a 3.5-game cushion on Toronto. Shortstop Willy Adames leads the team with 39 hits and 15 RBIs. Second baseman Brandon Lowe has driven in a team-high 28 runs on 35 hits. He leads the team in the home run department with 10. Third baseman Yandy Diaz has also notched 35 hits this year. He is currently out with a hamstring injury. The offense has really dipped over the last five games, as the team has batted just .195 and left 34 runners on base.
Josh Fleming is expected to start for Tampa Bay in this game. He allowed four runs on seven hits over five innings in his last start, but got plenty of run support and he earned the win. Fleming gave up a pair of homers and struck out two batters. It was the third win of the season for him, improving his record to 3-0. The fifth-round pick in the 2017 draft relies on solid control, as his fastball rarely gets above 90 mph. His previous start was a win against Miami, where he allowed three hits and struck out six batters across 5.1 scoreless innings.
Boston is:
0-4 in its last four during game one of a series 1-4 in its last four road games vs. a left-handed starter
Tampa Bay is:
8-0 in its last eight games vs. a left-handed starter 5-0 in its last five games following an off day

Red Sox notebook Despite his production decline, Michael Chavis has remained positive By Peter Abraham Globe Staff,Updated September 9, 2020, 7:54 p.m.
In a season gone badly awry, the Red Sox can draw some optimism from first baseman Bobby Dalbec, who has hit five home runs in his first nine major league games. It’s exciting for an organization when a rookie arrives and makes an immediate impact.
But it can be a mirage, too.
Michael Chavis hit .279 with a .903 OPS, 10 home runs and 27 RBIs in his first 34 games last season. He was quotable, colorful and his home runs were usually moonshots.
The only question at the time was where he fit best defensively.
Chavis has since hit .234 with a .661 OPS, 10 home runs and 41 RBIs over 90 games. He has two home runs this season, the last on Aug. 5.
Chavis also has struck out 40 times in 105 plate appearances and his .267 on-base percentage is the lowest on the team among the 13 players with at least 50 plate appearances.
The question now is if Chavis fits at all as the Sox try to build a contending team.
Chavis, an optimist by nature, said he is learning a lot and feels like it’s been a productive season. Related: New prospect Connor Seabold is already impressing at Red Sox alternate site
“I don’t really know if there’s an ideal plan for when you get to the big leagues,” he said. “Just the fact that I’m here is pretty amazing. When I come to the field, I feel privileged to be here.”
Chavis could potentially become a helpful utility player. He has experience at first, second and third base and on Tuesday played his first game in left field. But that has to start with better results at the plate.
“A lot of that goes to pitch selection in my at-bats,” Chavis said. "I feel like my approach and my mental state has been a lot better lately and that directly correlates to on-base percentage.
“When I’m swinging at a bunch of pitches out of the zone, I’m just trying to do too much and trying to create results instead of letting them come to me.”
Chavis acknowledged that not being in the lineup every day has hurt his production because he usually faces similar pitchers when he does play.
Eovaldi progressing
Nate Eovaldi threw two simulated innings in the bullpen at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia during Wednesday’s day off before the team traveled to Florida.
The righthander, who hasn’t pitched since Aug. 20 because of a strained right calf, could get activated off the disabled list against Tampa Bay this weekend unless it’s determined he needs another side session.
Darwinzon Hernandez, who went on the 10-day injured list on Aug. 30, isn’t ready to return but has been throwing and the plan is for him to pitch again at some point this season.
Hernandez has a sprained SC joint in his shoulder.
Unhappy anniversary
Wednesday was the one-year anniversary of the Sox officially firing president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. They are 23-40 since. Through Tuesday, only the Angels, Pirates, Rangers and Royals have been worse over that same time . . . Lefthander Mike Kickham is the scheduled starter in Friday. It would be his first start in the majors since July 1, 2013 when he was with the Giants. Kickham, 31, has pitched twice in relief and allowed two runs over five innings. He would be the 14th starter used over 45 games . . . Catcher Deivy Grullon, the extra player in Tuesday’s doubleheader, was returned to the taxi squad. He caught the second game and was 1 for 3 with a walk and a run batted in. Backup catcher Kevin Plawecki, who didn’t play Tuesday because of a bruised hand, is expected to be available on Thursday . . . The Sox are 1-5 against the Rays this season and been outscored by 19 runs.

Red Sox at Rays Series Preview
The Red Sox head down to Florida for a four-game set. By Matt_Collins@MattRyCollins Sep 10, 2020, 10:30am EDT

DRay’s Bay The opponent in one sentence
The Rays have emerged as the clear-cut favorite in the American League East and arguably the favorite in the AL overall thanks to great depth all over the field. Record
28-15 Head-to-head record
Red Sox 1, Rays 5 Trend
Down. The Rays were one of the hottest teams in baseball throughout the entire month of August, erasing what was a pretty rough start to their season. However, things have slowed down over the last week or so. They lost their last two against the Nationals and overall have lost three of four and five of seven. Pitching Matchups
9/10: Mike Kickham vs. Josh Fleming, 7:10 PM ET (MLB Network for out of market)
We’ve seen a couple appearances from Mike Kickham since he was called up to join the roster, but assuming they stick with this plan — they make pitching decisions on a whim, so everything is always subject to change — this will be the lefty’s first start. He’s appeared in two games thus far and has pitched a total of five innings, allowing three runs with four strikeouts and two walks. His last time out was more effective with two scoreless innings to finish off a win against the Blue Jays.
Fleming is just another starter the Rays have been able to call up and get solid, usable innings from every five days, continuing their run of having a seemingly unlimited number of these guys year after year. The former fifth round pick has three starts under his belt in his rookie year, he’s pitched to a 3.52 ERA with 11 strikeouts and two walks over 15 1⁄3 innings. The southpaw isn’t going to blow anyone away with his stuff, but consistently striking out 17 or 18 percent of his opponents in the minors and keeping that up through three starts, but he doesn’t put runners on for free and he induces a ton of ground balls. He is coming off his toughest start so far, though, having allowed four runs to the Marlins over five innings his last time out. Fleming will offer a low-90s sinker along with a slider and a changeup.
9/11: TBD vs. Blake Snell, 6:40 PM ET
As of this writing Thursday morning, only the first game has an announced starter for the Red Sox, which is basically par for the course at this point. Every time I try to guess starters I get it wrong, but I’ll keep trying. Ryan Weber seems like the logical choice for this one. After a brutal first stint with the team, the righty has been much more solid since coming back up, having allowed more than two runs in an outing just once since July. His best outing of the year, this one coming out of the bullpen in relief, actually came earlier in the year against the Rays when he tossed six innings of shutout ball.
Snell was brought along slowly to start this season as they ramped up his workload, but he’s now at least going five innings every start, and while we haven’t seen the most dominant version of the lefty he’s been consistently solid. Well, for the most part. His last time out Snell allowed five runs (four earned), the first time over eight starts he’d allowed more than three runs in an outing. Overall, the former Cy Young has pitched to a 3.74 ERA. The strikeout rate is still elite, but he is having some mild control issues and has been killed by the long ball, having allowed eight homers in just 33 2⁄3 innings. The Red Sox always seem to have trouble against Snell and that was the case earlier this year as well when he tossed five shutout innings at Fenway. He will offer a mid-90s fastball along with a changeup, a curveball and a slider.
9/12: TBD vs. Tyler Glasnow, 6:40 PM ET
Again, TBD! This one is a little more up in the air, but it seems like the hope is that Nathan Eovaldi will be ready to make this start. I’m not optimistic because it seems like nothing has really gone according to plan with this calf injury, and there’s really no reason to rush him back at this point. It would be nice to see him back out there, of course, but I’m not counting on it. If he doesn’t go, they could either go with a bullpen game or perhaps this is when we get our first look at Nick Pivetta.
Glasnow burst onto the scene in a huge breakout year last season with the Rays after some middling seasons with the Pirates. Injuries derailed the breakout, but there were big expectations as he came back this season. However, it’s been more mediocre as the righty has pitched to a 4.35 ERA on the year. To be fair to Glasnow, most of that damage came earlier in the year, and prior to his last outing he had allowed two or fewer runs in three straight starts. That last time out, he allowed three over 5 1⁄3. One thing that is always there is the strikeouts, and there are going to be plenty of Saturday. Glasnow has a rate of nearly 40 percent this year. The difference comes down to control, and if the Red Sox can draw some free passes early in the outing they can have some success. Earlier this year, they scored five runs over four innings against the righty. Glasnow will offer a big fastball along with a curveball and the occasional changeup.
9/13: TBD vs. Charlie Morton, 1:10 PM ET
Our good friend TBD joins us again on Sunday. This is lined up to be a Martín Pérez outing. But also if Eovaldi starts they’d been trying to separate those two. I don’t know if they still care about that. I don’t know anything. I’m tired of TBD, if we’re being honest. It’s driving me nuts!
Morton missed most of the month of August with injury, but has come back to make a couple of starts as he gets ready for the postseason. Given the small sample of his overall season it’s hard to totally judge Morton this year, though it does seem he may be showing signs of age. He’s still been good, granted, but the strikeout rate is as low as it’s been since before he joined the Astros in 2017 and he’s having some issues with the long ball. His last time out he allowed three runs over five innings to the Nationals. The Red Sox did see the righty before his injury, scoring just one run over five innings of work. Morton will feature a low-to-mid-90s fastball along with a curveball, a sinker and a cutter. All that’s left is to play spoiler
Old Friends
Kevin Cash was a backup catcher for the Red Sox back in the 2000s, but he has since turned himself into one of the very best managers in baseball, deftly maneuvering a Rays roster that requires basically rolling out a different lineup every day.
Manuel Margot was part of the package that brought Craig Kimbrel to Boston and after a few years in San Diego the outfielder is in his first season with the Rays. He plays at least a few times a week in this lineup, providing good defense while also enjoying the best offensive season of his career.
Jalen Beeks was the cost for the Red Sox to acquire Nathan Eovaldi in the summer of 2018. Beeks has turned into a solid long relief arm and bulk guy for Tampa, though he’s currently on the injured list. Notable Position Players
Brandon Lowe had put himself in the early AL MVP conversation, though he’s slowed down a bit at the plate. Even so, he’s put up a 139 wRC+ and is hitting for massive power. He also kills Red Sox pitching more than anyone in this lineup, historically speaking.
Willy Adames has actually overtaken Lowe as the Rays best player by fWAR this year and is quietly in the midst of a massive breakout. He strikes out a bunch, but he also draws walks and makes consistently loud contact while playing shortstop. That said, he also boasts a .447 batting average on balls in play, which is not going to stick around long-term.
Austin Meadows got off to a late start after a COVID-related delay to his season, and he’s yet to really get going. After a breakout 2019, he’s been below replacement level this season.
Joey Wendle is going to put a lot of balls in play and has been solid with about league-average production at the plate this year.
Ji-Man Choi has been a bit disappointing for Tampa this season. He’s drawing walks, but the power hasn’t been there quite as expected.
Yoshi Tsutsugo is not going to hit a lot of singles, but the rookie from Japan draws a ton of walks and when he gets hits they typically go extra bases.
Kevin Kiermaier is always going to be known for his defense, but a high walk rate is helping him put up above-average numbers at the plate as well.
Randy Arozarena was just recently called up but the outfielder has been electric in his first eight games.
Michael Pérez has been thrust into the lineup every day due to injury, and catcher represents the one true weak spot in this lineup. Bullpen Snapshot
Nick Anderson has missed some time with injury this year, but he’s back in Tampa’s bullpen and remains one of the very best relievers in all of baseball.
Diego Castillo and Peter Fairbanks are the two main set-up options in front of Anderson, with Castillo working around iffy peripherals for good results while Fairbanks has been able to dominate despite a bunch of walks.
Aaron Loup is the top lefty in this bullpen and is a true specialist. Injuries
Beeks, as mentioned above, is injured. He underwent Tommy John surgery in August and will likely be out until 2022.
Yandy Díaz went down at the very end of August with a hamstring injury, and it’s not clear when he’ll be back. He should be back before the end of the year, though.
José Alvarado has been out for most of the year with a shoulder injury, but the lefty could be back at some point in the postseason.
Andrew Kittredge has been out since August with a UCL injury. He’ll miss the rest of the year, and Tommy John is still on the table.
Colin Poche underwent Tommy John right at the start of the season and will likely be out until 2022, though a late 2021 return is possible.
Yonny Chirinos is yet another Rays pitcher who underwent Tommy John this summer.
Mike Zunino went down with an oblique injury at the end of August, but could be back soon.
Oliver Drake has missed most of the year with a biceps injury, but could be back as soon as this weekend’s series.
Chaz Roe went down with an elbow injury a few weeks ago but could also be making his way back very soon. Weather Forecast
Doesn’t matter; in a dome.

Chris Hatfield @spchrishatfield 17m The Red Sox transactions page shows Jose Peraza as being optioned to the ATS yesterday. No announcement otherwise. Interesting move in what seems to be a last ditch effort to see if there's anything there. Currently looking like he'll be non-tendered this offseason.

Chris Hatfield @spchrishatfield · 7m Replying to @spchrishatfield In addition to the players reportedly on taxi squad (Grullon, Puello, Covey, Houck, Tapia), Robert Stock & Matt Hall are apparently also with tm in St. Pete. I'd thought taxi squad was capped at 5. Maybe one of those seven replaces Peraza, plus another transaction coming?

Stirring up chum
Red Sox placed RHP Austin Brice on the 10-day injured list with a lat strain.
This is probably going to be a season-ending injury for Brice, who had struggled to a 6.27 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, and 23/12 K/BB ratio in 18 2/3 innings (one start, 19 relief appearances) this year with Boston.
Red Sox recalled RHP Dylan Covey from their alternate training site.
Covey has allowed five earned runs over 6 1/3 innings of relief this season with the Red Sox. The 29-year-old right-hander figures to mostly serve as a mop-up man down the stretch.
Red Sox recalled RHP Robert Stock from their alternate training site.
Stock will return to the Red Sox bullpen ahead of Thursday night's game against the Rays. The hard-throwing right-hander owns a rough 5.87 ERA and 2.61 WHIP in 7 2/3 innings of work this season.
