Jalen Beeks

The Pirates get some much-needed bullpen help from an unlikely source — the Colorado Rockies.

Can the Rays sustain their success? Most of it has been led by outstanding pitching. Tampa Bay leads the MLB in team ERA (2.87).

With Blake Snell out for 10 days, there is more pressure on Tampa Bay's relievers to keep things tidy as they eat up innings.

After the former 28th-round draft pick was released last fall, the team asked if he would come back in a slightly different role.

With Tampa Bay's nontraditional approach, it appears that none of their relievers are locked into a role or leverage situation.

Tampa Bay may have starters, openers and followers — but also a winning combination of great stuff, promise and situational skill.

Since giving up eight runs to the Orioles in his first appearance with the club, Jalen Beeks has given up just three runs in 10 innings over his past two appearances.

Other players the Rays could trade in the coming week include Wilson Ramos, Adeiny Hechavarria and Chris Archer.

The Sox have made 50 roster moves to bolster their bullpen already this season, and still they nearly didn't have enough arms in Saturday's extra-innings win.
