Rays' Griffin Jax: Struggles in return from IL

Rotowire ·

Jax (6-10) took the loss against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing six runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out one batter across 2.2 innings.

Analysis:

Jax was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start after a one-month absence due to elbow discomfort. He put the Rays on the back foot early by allowing three runs in the first inning before giving up three more runs in the third frame on a bases-clearing double by Brett Baty. Jax threw just 63 pitches and will likely have a limited workload again for his next turn through the rotation, which lines up for next week on the road against Atlanta.
