![]() Tampa Bay Rays - Jason Adam’s position at the head of the Tampa committee was already iffy with the return of Pete Fairbanks, but blowing a three-run save to the Mets Wednesday night should really have him looking over his shoulder. Updated Hierarchy: *Fairbanks| Adam | Poche. We’ll swap Fairbanks back to the top of the hierarchy, but its very much a 2 man show in Tampa Bay. Adam arguably had the tougher assignment, as he faced the top of the order, and this being the Rays it’s doubtful anyone would really run away with the job, but this probably is Tampa’s preferred order of things when everyone is available. Both got the job done to convert the Hold/Save combo. Tampa Bay Rays - With a 1 run lead the Rays went with Jason Adam in the 8th inning and Pete Fairbanks in the 9th. Hierarchy remains: *Fairbanks| Adam | Poche. Tampa Bay Rays - Kevin Kelley started the 9th inning with the Rays up 8-4 but after a pair of walks brought the tying run to the on-deck circle, Jason Adam came on to record the final two outs and pick up his 6th save of the season. Hierarchy remains: *Fairbanks | Adam | Poche. Pete Fairbanks had gone in two of three, while Jason Adam played the day before (22 pitches). Tampa Bay Rays - Up 6-1 in the ninth inning Thursday, the Rays went with Jake Diekman to finish things off, but he ran into trouble, loading the bases with one out to give way to Colin Poche, who allowed a walk and a sacrifice fly before closing things out for his first save. In his absence, Jason Adam picked up a 2-inning save and will be the committee leader if Fairbanks needs to miss time. An IL stint isn’t a certainty, but if he needs to miss some time, watch this space for an alert. Tampa Bay Rays – Pete Fairbanks’ hip “locked up” during his warmup on Sunday and he limped to the dugout for further tests. Updated hierarchy: *Adam | Poche | Kelly. Jason Adam should be the primary source of saves while Fairbanks is out but it’s the Rays so guys like Colin Poche and Kevin Kelly could also be in the mix. Tampa Bay Rays - Pete Fairbanks was placed on the injured list with left hip inflammation. But when Kelly loaded the bases on a walk, hit by pitch, and error, it was Jalen Beeks who wound up coming in - and he earned the save with a clutch strikeout and flyout. JTampa Bay Rays - The Rays used Colin Poche in the seventh and Jason Adam in the eighth, leaving Kevin Kelly to go for the save in the ninth. Hierarchy remains: *Adam | Poche | Kelly. Adam is the reliever most likely to record saves while Pete Fairbanks is out but it’s still the Rays so don’t be surprised when somebody else gets a save. JTampa Bay Rays - Jason Adam pitched a scoreless 9th inning for his 8th save of the season. Updated hierarchy: *Fairbanks | Adam | Poche. We’ll move Fairbanks to the front of this committee as a result. JTampa Bay Rays - Pete Fairbanks returned from the IL Thursday and slid right into ninth-inning duty, retiring the side on 10 pitches to earn his seventh save.
