Griffin Jax Cleared to Make His Start on Monday
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Griffin Jax (back) is in line to make his next scheduled start on Monday against the Detroit Tigers, per Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group. Jax was forced to exit early from his start against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday after being hit in the back with a 107.2 mph comebacker. In 17 appearances (six starts) for Tampa Bay so far in 2026, Jax is 1-3 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts across 30 innings. The 31-year-old was moved from the bullpen to the rotation in late April and has been effective since, allowing four earned runs over 21 innings. He had reached five innings pitched in each of his last two starts leading into Tuesday, and should be stretched out to close to a normal starter's workload going forward. In leagues where he's not already rostered, Jax could be worth a look on the waiver wire.
