Tampa Bay Rays
Tampa Bay didn’t give up a run in its series with Miami this week, winning both games by a combined score of 5–0. Charlie Morton was the man in the first game and the bullpen did it in the second, the first time the Rays had to be without Tyler Glasnow in the regular rotation this year.
It started with Ryne Stanek and ended with Diego Castillo with five guys in-between, including Jalen Beeks, who was the long man and got nine outs, pitching around four hits with as many strikeouts.

Yandy Diaz turned his ankle, however, which makes his status for this game in question. Tampa Bay had Thursday off and he’ll get treatment on that ankle but he’s considered questionable for Friday.
Daniel Robertson would slide in and play somewhere in the infield (probably third). Matt Duffy and Joey Wendle are still on the mend but both could be back before the month is out. The only team in the American League that has had to deal with more injuries than Tampa Bay is New York.
New York Yankees
And yet these two teams would both be in the playoffs, if the season ended today, Tampa by virtue of a division championship and New York would host Boston in the wild card game.
New York swept Baltimore in a doubleheader on Wednesday and gets to enjoy Thursday off at home before hosting this series, beginning Friday.

The Yankees welcomed back Gary Sanchez to the lineup Wednesday after he just missed a game. Miguel Andujar, on the other hand, decided he couldn’t play a full season through with his ailing shoulder and will have season-ending surgery after making a brief comeback. That paves the way for Gio Urshela to resume everyday duties, at least in the short-term.
Aaron Hicks also came back to play the second game on Wednesday, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in his season debut. After Hicks, the Yankees have Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge’s returns to look forward to. Both should be back by early June, Judge perhaps sooner.

Free Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York Yankees MLB Prediction: over.
I say the Rays get to Sabathia, even with that banged-up lineup. The total should be relatively low so we’re not talking a double-digit over here.
