Overview
- The Rays moved reliever and spot starter Griffin Jax to the 15-day injured list with right-elbow discomfort, a move made retroactive to Aug. 6.
- Manager Kevin Cash said initial imaging suggested the issue is non-ligament-related and that Jax feels better after being scratched before Saturday's start.
- Jax is scheduled to see a doctor Monday with the team expecting clearer information on his diagnosis by midweek.
- Tampa Bay recalled right-hander Michael Grove from Triple-A Durham to provide immediate bullpen depth while Jax is evaluated.
- The club used seven pitchers in the game after Jax's scratch, highlighting short-term strain on the bullpen and making the midweek medical update important for roster planning.
