Odorizzi (0-1) allowed four runs on nine hits while striking out six over six innings, and took the loss Sunday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi gave up four runs in the second, which was capped off by a Manny Machado two-run bomb, though he held the Orioles down in each of the other five frames he pitched. Although he didn't have a great outing, he's still looking to build upon the success of his 2015 campaign, when he posted an ERA of 3.35 with a 1.15 WHIP. He'll make his next start Friday against the White Sox.

Odorizzi struck out 10 but was stuck with a no-decision in Tuesday's game against Toronto, as he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi was nasty, as he induced 17 swinging strikes and was able to keep Toronto's terrifying lineup from opening up one of the huge rallies that they became known for last year. However, as he was racking up the strikeouts, Odorizzi threw 111 pitches and wasn't able to get out of the sixth inning as a result. Odorizzi has averaged just over 5.2 innings per start over the past two seasons, and he'll need to go deeper in games if he wants to turn his solid results into better win totals.

Odorizzi (1-2) surrendered six hits, eight earned runs and three walks over an inning-plus of work in Thursday's 13-8 spring loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old right-hander was heavily battered by the Pirates and was chased in the second inning. He surrendered a homer to Matt Joyce off the left-field scoreboard with two on in the first, one of 10 batters that Odorizzi faced in a 43-pitch inning. After yielding a leadoff solo shot to Francisco Cervelli in the top of the second frame, the five-year veteran lasted only two more hitters before heading for the showers. "I just didn't have any stuff, plain and simple," said Odorizzi, who makes his regular-season debut on Tuesday against the Blue Jays at Tropicana Field. "Fastball wasn't good. Curve same way. Split, same way. So not too worried about it, really. It's not like I had my good stuff and got hit around."

Odorizzi (1-1) surrendered five hits, an earned run and two walks over 6.1 innings in Saturday's 3-1 spring victory over the Pirates. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi's strong spring continued with an impressive outing versus what was essentially the Pirates' projected Opening Day lineup. The 26-year-old right-hander upped his pitch count to 107 as well, in what was his last extended appearance before the regular season. His only real blemishes on the day were a hit batsmen, as well as the mammoth sixth-inning centerfield solo shot he surrendered to David Freese. Currently slotted for a Top 3-spot in the Rays' starting rotation, Odorizzi now has struck out 12 batters in 12 spring innings, and currently sports a 1.50 ERA.

Odorizzi allowed five hits and struck out five over 6.2 innings in a minor-league start against the Orioles' Triple-A Norfolk team Monday, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old right-hander took his regular turn in the rotation with Triple-A Durham, while many of his major-league teammates were down in Havana readying for Tuesday's exhibition versus the Cuban National Team. Odorizzi surrendered a home run, but was otherwise sharp despite some discomfort from a callus on his right middle finger, finding the strike zone on 67 of his 90 offerings. He'll take the mound again versus the Pirates on Saturday in Bradenton, when his goal will be to reach 105 pitches.

Odorizzi looked strong while pitching five shutout innings against the Red Sox Class-A club Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander allowed three hits and struck out four. Odorizzi displayed solid control throughout, walking none and finding the strike zone with 53 of his 77 offerings. The increased workload was encouraging for the right-hander, who had pitched a maximum of 3.1 innings in his three appearances so far this spring."The first time you go out there for five innings, you feel like you are out there for forever after you haven't been out there for more than two or three," Odorizzi said. "It was good to get up and down that many times, especially with the heat out there." The Rays' projected third starter plans to stretch out to 90 pitches in his next game, another minor-league start on Monday while the big-league club is Havana for their exhibition game versus the Cuban National Team.

Odorizzi outdueled the Marlins' Jose Fernandez and evened his record at 9-9 in Thursday's win over the Marlins, giving up just an unearned run on four hits over seven innings. He struck out seven and walked two.

EDGE Analysis

An oblique injury kind of derailed this season for Odorizzi, as he was less effective in the second half after returning from the DL, but the righty still showed a lot overall and finished the season on a high note. He wasn't expensive in this year's drafts, and he probably won't be terribly high-priced next year either; buy in while the buying's good, as there's legitimate 200-strikeout upside here.

Odorizzi allowed four runs on seven hits, walking three and striking out four over five innings of a 5-3 loss to Toronto on Friday night.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi (8-9, 3.49 ERA) needed 111 pitches (67 for strikes) to cover five innings, and couldn't keep the Blue Jays off the scoreboard in three of those five innings. He allowed a pair of home runs in what would be considered a mediocre outing against any team other than Toronto and their high-powered offense. He's working on a solid season and should be a good middle-of-the-rotation option in 2016.

Odorizzi had a rough Sunday against the Orioles but finished with a no-decision, allowing four earned runs on eight hits in 5.2 innings pitched.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi's largest error came on a changeup that Chris Davis hit 10 rows into the stands during the third inning, but he did leave the game tied at four. The 25-year-old's three strikeouts is his lowest total since a Jul. 17 disaster start. That, combined with all of his allowed hits, means he was lucky to escape without a loss.

Odorizzi gave up three runs on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts in six innings Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old righty has a 3.26 ERA and 1.12 WHIP and has solidified himself as a legitimate middle-of-the-rotation arm this season. He will take the mound again Sunday at home against the Orioles, against whom he is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA in 12.2 innings this season.
