Latest news and updates about the Rays
Three. That’s what the Red Sox care about right now. Both as the Magic Number and the number worn by Ceddanne Rafaela. It’s also Ranger Suarez’s ERA. All of it. The series with the Texas Rangers went, well, not great. However it ended on mostly a high note. Aside from Willson Contreras begin hit in […]

Don't sleep on the Boston Red Sox for a deep postseason run.
Thursday was an off day for the Yankees, but as we progress into the final weeks of the 2026 regular season, every game matters for many teams around the Junior Circuit. Between the mediocre races in the Central and West, or the fight for the final wild card spot, there is plenty of moving that […]
Good morning A’s fans. Happy Friday! The Athletics entered their final road trip of the season riding high after scoring 25 runs and securing both series victories during a six-game homestand last week. The American League-best Tampa Bay Rays halted the Athletics’ momentum by sweeping them in three games for the second time in as […]
The Yankees squandered a chance to sweep the Twins Wednesday, dropping a 13-inning gut punch that diminished their chances of catching up to the Rays in the AL East. They’ll head to Phoenix this weekend for a three-game set against the Diamondbacks, who’ve dropped consecutive series and are hanging by a thread in the NL […]
In theory, taking two of three in a road series to open the week should qualify as a success, but in dropping the series finale in Minnesota, the Yankees lost ground in the AL East race, and they wake up today in Arizona five back of the Tampa Bay Rays. It’s a sobering set of […]
NEW YORK — It’s difficult to imagine a successful Phillies postseason without Jesús Luzardo. He’s been their best pitcher for months. Come see the Phillies face the Brewers & Rays from Sept. 22-27! The Phils still hope that he will pitch for them in the National League Wild Card Series, beginning on Sept. 29. But it’s far from a sure thing. He’s on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his left shoulder. It’s unclear when he will throw again. It’s unclear even once he throws again, how ...
The New York Yankees are in a secure position prior to the conclusion of the regular season.

ST. PETERSBURG — The Rays’ magic number in their 10-1 victory over the A’s on Thursday was six. In more ways than one. Tampa Bay used a six-run fourth inning to earn its sixth consecutive win, thereby dropping the team’s magic number for the AL East crown to, yes, six. Tampa Bay holds a five-game advantage over the Yankees (along with the head-to-head tiebreaker) with 10 games remaining for each side. Rays Postseason Tickets are On Sale Now!

On Thursday afternoon, the Rays were looking to complete a series sweep against the A’s before going into a weekend series against the Red Sox. To get the job done, they had Drew Rasmussen on the mound, up against Jeffrey Springs for the A’s. Old friend alert! The A’s went 1-2-3 in the top of […]
While the first two games of this three-game series saw the A’s barely lose, there was no doubt who the better team was today in the last game of the set. The Athletics got smacked in the finale on Thursday afternoon, losing to the play0ff-bound Rays 10-1 to wrap up their time in Florida. Just […]

It wouldn’t have been a proper Yankees-Twins series in Minnesota without a game that devolved into extra-innings madness. The Yankees failed to cash in multiple bases loaded opportunities and so missed a chance to sweep, falling farther behind the Rays in the standings. Nonetheless, the Bombers took care of business in the first two games […]

Go Rays!
Rise and shine everyone! We got our last early morning game of the year! The A’s have lost the first two games of the series to the Rays but we got a chance to salvage a win today and hopefully we can avoid the sweep. Both of the previous two games have been close so […]
The Tampa Bay Rays are currently the best team in the American League. Tampa Bay has a strong opportunity to make a deep postseason run in 2026, and the ball club received a crucial boost on Thursday. The Rays announced that infielder Taylor Walls has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Infielder Nick Madrigal […] The post Rays get key player back from IL ahead of MLB playoffs appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Worcester: W, 8-5 (BOX SCORE) We need to come up with a cool nickname for Allan Castro. Clutchstro? The Bull Runner? Because, he’s running those Bulls (Rays AAA) out of town the last couple of nights. After capturing the walk-off knock Tuesday, he was right back at it again on Wednesday with two home runs […]
So far this year the Rays as a team have produced just a 91 wRC+ against left-handed pitching heading into Wednesday’s game – ranking just 22nd in the league. After watching Martin Perez throw seven shutout innings against the Rays last week in Atlanta, I began wondering whether their struggles against left-handed pitching could become […]
Wednesday ended up producing one of the more frustrating Yankees’ games of the season. Having rallied to tie the game after being down to their last out, the Yankees took leads in the 10th and 11th innings, and had the bases loaded and nobody out in the 12, but couldn’t put up a crooked number […]
Injuries, experience, and breakout candidates will be key to the Rays, Guardians, and Astros ensuring they lock up their respective divisions.
