In true “end-of-the-season battle of the titans” fashion, the Rays were going to be facing the Yankees in a Tuesday doubleheader. Both teams had secured their trip to the postseason, but the Rays really wanted to finally lock down their place as the AL East champions without question. To get the job done, they had […]

He has pitched for six organizations. He is now 36 years old. This will be the first time he’s ever reached 30 starts in a season. Martinez was a shortsto...

Aaron Boone shared a more positive update on Jazz Chisholm Jr. ahead of the series opener against the Rays on Tuesday.
