Jalen Beeks News
The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated left-hander Jalen Beeks (leg) from the injured list on Saturday and optioned right-hander Luke Bard to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Beeks will make his return for the second half of the season after landing on the injured list before the All-Star break with right lower leg tightness. The 29-year-old southpaw has been great out of Tampa's bullpen this year, posting a 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP while striking out 49 and walking only 14 in 40 innings over 24 appearances (five starts).
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jalen Beeks was given the opportunity to close down the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Normally, Beeks is the middle man and sometimes used as the opener. He was given a surprise chance to come in as the closer on Thursday. He allowed one run, but was able to eventually close the door on the Red Sox. Beeks has a 2.48 ERA through 40 innings this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Beeks to regularly get save chances in Tampa Bay. He's normally not worth a look as a streaming option unless he is the opener against a struggling team.
Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks will serve as the opener on Tuesday against the New York Yankees in what looks to be another bullpen game for the Rays. Beeks served as the opener against the Yankees last Thursday and threw two perfect innings, but it doesn't make him worth a start in fantasy. The 28-year-old southpaw has been excellent of late and now is sporting a 1.29 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 33 strikeouts and only eight walks in 28 innings over 17 appearances (two starts) for the Rays in 2022. It remains to be seen who the Rays will use as their "bulk" guy on Tuesday, but fantasy managers should probably stay away from Beeks as a streamer.
