Rays' Zach Eflin: Blanks Yankees for 12th win
Eflin (12-6) earned the win Tuesday, allowing just three hits over six scoreless innings against the Yankees. He struck out five.
Eflin showed no ill effects Tuesday after departing his previous start with knee discomfort, firing six scoreless innings against New York to earn his 12th win, tying him for the major-league lead. It was certainly the type of effort the Rays needed from Eflin after he allowed five runs in two of his previous three starts. The 29-year-old right-hander now sports a 3.46 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 121:17 K:BB across 21 starts (122.1 innings) this season. Eflin's currently lined up to face the Cardinals at home in his next outing.

However, it remains unclear whether Eflin will be able to make his next scheduled start Tuesday against the Yankees.

Rays' Zach Eflin: Could make next start
Eflin could potentially make his next scheduled start Tuesday versus the Yankees after an MRI on his left knee didn't show anything overly concerning, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Eflin was forced to exit Wednesday's loss to the Marlins with left knee discomfort, but it looks like he's avoided any serious setbacks. The right-hander has had plenty of past knee issues, but the hope is that he will merely need rest and treatment and will be able to avoid the injured list.

Rays' Zach Eflin: Exits with knee discomfort
Eflin was removed from his start Wednesday against the Marlins after four innings due to left knee discomfort, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports. He gave up five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three.
Eflin's early exit initially appeared to a result of him being knocked around by the Miami offense, but Tampa Bay later relayed that an injury played a role in the right-hander being lifted after 53 pitches. The Rays will likely evaluate Eflin after the game and possibly even in send him in for an MRI before determining whether he'll be ready to make his next turn through the rotation. On a fortunate note for Eflin, it was an injury to his other knee that forced him to the injured list earlier this season, so he doesn't appear to be dealing with a related setback.

Rays' Zach Eflin: Requires MRI
Rays manager Kevin Cash said after Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Marlins that Eflin (knee) will undergo an MRI, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Eflin was dealt his sixth loss of the season Tuesday after serving up five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three before departing following the fourth inning. The Rays attributed his early exit to left knee discomfort, and Cash said that Eflin's upcoming MRI will provide a better sense on the source of the pain. Eflin can be considered day-to-day for the time being and tentatively lines up to make his next start early next week agains the Yankees, though a trip to the injured list remains a possibility at this stage.

Rays' Zach Eflin: Strikes out eight in 11th win

Eflin tossed seven scoreless frames for just the second time this year en route to his 11th win, tying his career-best mark from 2018. It was a major bounce-back performance for the right-hander, who was roughed up for five runs over three innings against the Royals in his last start. Eflin has been as advertised in his first season with Tampa Bay, posting a 3.36 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 113:16 K:BB across 19 appearances (112.1 innings).

Rays' Zach Eflin: Roughed up by Royals
Eflin (10-5) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing five runs on seven hits in three innings. He did not strike out or walk a batter.
Eflin was pulled after just 46 pitches in his shortest start of the season. He tied his season high with seven hits allowed after the Royals pounced on him for one run in the first inning and four in the second while lacing three extra-base hits. Eflin had struck out at least five hitters in each of his last eight starts but wasn't fooling anyone Sunday, recording his second outing this year with zero strikeouts. He still holds a respectable 3.59 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 105:15 K:BB in 105.1 innings and will look to bounce back in what projects to be a home matchup against Baltimore.
