Monday, April 15. Off Day

Rays are resting, but Kevin Cash is stashing aces up his sleeve for Tuesday's game against the Orioles. , , ,

Austin Meadows did win the AL Player of the Week award for his production over 27 plate appearances:  .542 BA, 12 RBIs, and four home runs, including the one at Toronto's Rogers Centre that landed in the 500 level in the upper deck in right field.  Marc Topkin, the Tampa Bay Times award-winning beat writer, points out rather soberly that Meadows had a similarly impressive beginning to his 2018 season, hitting .439 and smashing four homers over 11 games, but then cooled off, was sent to the minors, and traded to the Rays at the trade deadline (with Tyler Glasnow to the Pirates for Chris Archer).
