Here are five things to monitor and predictions like Put And the Rays play a series of three games at the Citi Field from Friday at 7:10 p.m. on Sny.
5 things to watch
Upcoming rotation start?
Kodai Senga Thursday’s match with an injury to the hamstrings who will land it on the IL, and the calculation will change with its missing time. But the dishes will have another seven starters for five places when Frankie Mont And Rome Petson are back.
With Montas which makes more rehabilitation beginnings before returning and manaeaScheduled to start its third rehabilitation on Sunday, things could become very frequented very soon.
And with New York who did not plan to use a regular rotation of six people in the immediate future, it is just to wonder how they will do everything.
It is logical to believe that Tylor Megill will slide to the enclosure of the surveys or will be sent to Triple-A Syracuse when the room is necessary in the rotation. He has minor league options, which means that dishes can send it without running the risk of losing it.
Beyond Megill (which begins on Saturday), the next candidate to lose perhaps his rotation point – as unfair as that – would almost certainly be GRIFFIN CANNINGwhich carries an MPM of 3.22 in his departure on Sunday.
Play time on the inner field
The dishes are currently juggling four players for two interior places, with Jeff McNeil,, Brett Baty,, Ronny MauricioAnd Luisangel Acuña Jockeying between the second base and the third base.
In the case of McNeil, which was on fire, it will start almost every day – and the dishes have the possibility of using it in the central field, where it started on Wednesday.
This leaves Baty, Mauricio and Acuña as main players who fight for the bats.
The dishes have the possibility of using one of them to DH, but most of the time, which was given to Jared Young And Starling Marte.
Francisco Alvarez find it on the plate?
Before being placed on the paternity list for the birth of his daughter, Alvarez showed signs of rupture.
He struck 320 / .346 / .480 in 26 appearances in his last six games, including a Homer and a Double.

Things did not come easily to the plate for Alvarez after returning from a broken hamato bone, and that included it to run after many locations well outside the area.
But Alvarez looks better lately. And if he can rely on this – especially if he can exploit more power – he could help bring the range of dishes to another level.
The rays are in the thickness of the race in the playoffs
The Rays were a little made after the fact before the season, but they are again in the heart of things in the playoff race.
Tampa is third place in Al East and drags Yankees from first place by 6.0 games, but they are currently holding Joker’s third point – and are only 2.0 games behind Blue Jays for the best Joker point.
Caminero junior (.776 ops) and Brandon Lowe (.742 ops) helped the shelves from, and the old prospect dish Jake Mangum was strong in his first taste for majors. Mangum hits. 304 with an OBP .339 and 10 stolen bases in 33 games.
The shelves also have a very good closer Pete Fairbankswhich has an MPM of 2.30 and 1.17 whip in 27.1 rounds – and has not yet allowed a circuit this season.
Drew Rasmussen is healthy and treats
Tampa’s rotation is anchored by Rasmussen, which has undergone three serious elbow surgeries and is now back and dominates.
In 13 departures on 69.0 rounds this season, Rasmussen has an MPM of 2.22 and 0.89 Whip and only granted 48 strokes.
And Rasmussen has been particularly clear lately.
He made four consecutive outstanding departures covering on May 17 to June 3, before giving up two points in 6.0 rounds during his last departure on June 8 against the Marlins.
Rasmussen obtains the ball on Saturday.
