Matchups
Fri 26 Sep - Houser (8-4, 3.18) vs Bieber (3-2, 3.57)
Sat 27 Sep - Boyle (1-3, 4.40) vs Yesavage (0-0, 5.00)
Sun 28 Sep - Seymour (4-2, 2.85) vs Gausman (10-11, 3.47)
Jeff Hoffman is 0/2 in his career vs. Adrian Houser, in case you were wondering. Houser has significant splits, so Springer, Guerrero, Kirk, and Clement should be the only RHB in the lineup tonight.
Fluharty and Nance are the freshest arms for tonight, with Rodriguez and Little not too far behind.
I'd like to officially call out Clement for having 1 RBI and being terrible over the last 10 games. Do your thing, Ernie.

Orelvis signs minor league deal with Nationals.
I was surprised to see that Houser turned into a bit of a pumpkin when he put on a Rays jersey, it feels like they normally get good results from everyone they pick up. Houser was at 2.10 ERA / 3.45 FIP in Chicago (69 IP) but has gone 4.65 ERA / 4.35 FIP in Tampa (50 IP).
Yandy Diaz is day to to day with groin strain. Would be helpful for Jays if Rays play it safe with him.
