@MLBProRays fears are realized, as OF Corbin Carroll (.765-9-42, 42/47 SB) placed on IL (9.15), due to triceps tendinitis. He is expected out 4-5 weeks, which puts return at ALCS, if Rays get there.
OF Will Anderson (.497 OPS) called up until IF Raul Aguilera returns from IL on Saturday.

TB 10, KC 4
2025: 47-33
Rays use 8-run 1st--behind Elliott Jenkins' (4-5, 5RBI) bases-loaded double, and Jeremy Sullivan's 3-run HR (20th)--to end 4-game slide.
Jeffery LeBlanc was solid (5-1IP, 3H, ER, 4K, 2BB) in evening his record (6-6).
#rays25
On June 5th, the Rays held an 8-game lead over Boston.
This morning, that lead is two.
Whereas the Rays found myriad ways to win earlier this season, they now find myriad ways to lose. This team needs to find A win, and soon.
Tyson Oswalt, all eyes turn to you.
#rays25
Only saving graces for Rays:
1) Boston has lost two straight. Lead still 4.
2) Tyson Oswalt and Dane Grier next two nights.
Grier since 5.1: 4-2, 2.37 (49.1IP, 44H, 51K, 9BB)
Grier since 5.28: 4-0, 1.33 (27IP, 20H, 30K, 5BB)
Rays need these two to be who the Rays think they are.

#RAYcap, 6.16.25
BAL 11, TB 4
A 3R HR by Dave Tatum capped off a 7R 4th, as O's pound Rays. Hideaki Abe (5-5, 3R, 2RBI, SB) led O's; Detmer and Vanbiesbrouck added HR.
Jeremy Sullivan (2-4, HR, 3RBI) and Bobby Witt (2-3, 2R, SB) only Rays of note.
#rays25
If things go south for the Rays in the end, Friday's loss is a flashpoint. Tyson Oswalt (8IP, 4H, ER, 8K) tosses gem; Rays blow it in 9th.
Rays post three in 11th, on Sullivan and Jenkins HR...only for Mets to score four to walk it off.
Just a terrible loss. Rays need bullpen help.
#rays25
Top of the order for Rays was great, despite odd lineup:
Aguilera: 3-3, 2 2B, 3R (leading off?)
DeChambeau: 2-5, 2B, R, RBI
Robinson: 2-4, 2B, R, RBI (3rd???)
Gill: 2-4, 2B, 3RBI
Ed Reith (4.1IP, 8H, 5ER, 2K, 3BB) with worst outing of '25, yielding more than 2R for first time in 7 starts.

#RAYcap, 6.10.25
TB 13, BOS 7
2025: 43-24
Rays' offense exploded for 5 in the 1st, and 11 through 3, as they cruise to a win. Bobby Witt (4-5, 3R, RBI, SB) and Jeremy Sullivan and Donald Robinson each had 4RBI to pace the attack. Sullivan added his 17th HR.
#rays25
Jeffery LeBlanc was solid (6.1IP, 4H, ER, 2K, 4BB), while Bobby Witt (2-4, 2B, R, SB) and Jeremy Sullivan (16th HR) supplied the run production. Randy Maley went 2-3 in the losing effort.
#rays25
Rays now have pivotal stretch to end month:
at Boston (3) (TB +7 in AL East entering today)
Off Day
at NY Mets (3)
vs Baltimore (4) (TB +11 in AL East)
vs Detroit (3)
Off Day
at KC (3)
at Baltimore (3)
Rays could really put some distance on division...or things could get very interesting.

Bats alive in final two games: 21R, 27H, 5HR...3 by Jeremy Sullivan, who went 6-12, 7RBI last two days. G. DeChambeau (3-4, 3R) and Raul Aguilera (HR, 1) also helped.
Tyson Oswalt (5.2IP, 8H, 3ER, 4K, 2BB, 6-2) was good enough.
Off day today.
#rays25
Bobby Witt (2-5, 22B, RBI) and Corbin Carroll (2-5, 2B, R, RBI) paced Rays.

TB 3, MIN 0
2025: 35-20
Rays end 3-game slide thanks to Dane Grier's gem (7.2IP, 4H, 8K). Elliott Jenkins (4-4, 2B, 2R, SB) and Royce Lewis (2-4, 3B, 3RB) supplied the offense.
That ends a 4-5 homestand. Now, it's off to Houston, to put scuffling May (14-11) behind them.

2025: 34-19
Byron Buxton (3-4, 2HR (11), 5 RBI) and Twins light up Rays bullpen (4IP, 5 H, 8ER, 5K, 4BB). Buxton's second was GS off Jeremy Benson, giving Josiah Gray this line: .2 IP, 0H, 3ER, K, 3BB.
Edward Reith (5IP, 7H, 2ER, 4K) only Ray of note.

Off-day today...then Toronto (25-24, 7GB) come in for big May series. Feels like a must-win.
