Edwin Uceta Having More Shoulder Issues, "Shut Down for a Few Days"
Tampa Bay Rays right-handed reliever Edwin Uceta (shoulder) is having more shoulder issues, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. "He's sore in the back of his shoulder," manager Kevin Cash said. As a result, Uceta will be shut down for at least a few days and will head back to Tampa to visit with a doctor. The news comes after his rough outing at Triple-A Durham during his minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday, when he allowed two earned runs on five hits allowed in 1 1/3 innings pitched. The 28-year-old Dominican was getting close to making his 2026 season debut, but that will be pushed back a bit now. Griffin Jax got the first opportunity to lock down save duties for the Rays to begin the year with Uceta on the 15-day injured list, but he quickly failed and was replaced with Bryan Baker, who has two saves this week and four total on the year. Uceta is still worth stashing in fantasy baseball leagues as the favorite for saves in Tampa when he's fully healthy.
