Odorizzi exited Friday's game in the fifth inning with an undisclosed injury. The Rays did not provide further details regarding Odorizzi's status, but expect an update on his status as more details become available.

Odorizzi turned in yet another solid performance, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits, walking two and striking out seven over seven innings of a 4-1 loss to Seattle on Monday night. Odorizzi (3-5, 2.31 ERA) can't buy any run support as his mates have scored two or fewer runs in nine of his 2015 starts. Despite that he has been both proficient and efficient, and will hope more help from the offense is on the way.

Odorizzi allowed two runs and four hits over six innings, striking out two and walking two Wednesday against the Braves. It was another solid outing for Odorizzi (3-4), but the young righty picked up another loss. It was the eighth time this season the Rays have scored two runs or less in one of his starts. Odorizzi has a 2.43 ERA in nine starts, and he'll take the mound again Monday against Seattle.

Odorizzi gave up three runs on eight hits to earn the loss in Friday's contest against the Twins. Odorizzi struck out five batters over six innings pitched and didn't walk anyone in what was actually a solid performance. He couldn't get any help from the Rays offense along the way, and now holds a record of 3-3. He'll take a 2.36 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP into his next start in Atlanta.

Odorizzi bounced back from his illness and delivered 6.2 innings with seven strikeouts and only one earned run, but didn't get the win. Odorizzi is now averaging 6.8 innings per start with a 2.09 ERA and .908 WHIP. He's looking like a true success from the Rays' pitching development and they'll need it if they want to continue challenging for the AL East, given Alex Cobb and Drew Smyly's injuries.

Odorizzi (illness) relayed that he felt "a lot better" Saturday and has been cleared to start Sunday against the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Odorizzi was bumped back from Saturday's start after his body had been weakened by the illness, but he never deviated from his routine, as he was able to play catch each of the last few days. Manager Kevin Cash doesn't believe Odorizzi will face any restrictions Sunday, so he looks like a safe activation against the Rangers, who rank 25th in the MLB with a .293 wOBA for the season.

Odorizzi is expected to start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Odorizzi was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday due to illness, but he said he's feeling much better and expects to take the mound Sunday. The 25-year-old is coming off of an impressive outing against the Red Sox on Tuesday, in which he allowed only one earned run on seven hints in 7.0 innings.

Odorizzi will not make his scheduled start Saturday due to a bout with the flu, Roger Mooney of The Tampa Tribune reports. With Odorizzi unable to go Saturday, Matt Andriese will be recalled to start Saturday's game against the the Rangers. Odorizzi does not figure to be looking at a long-term absence, but it remains to be seen when he will make his next start.

Odorizzi struck out six and did not walk a batter while holding the Red Sox to one run on seven hits over seven innings Monday night. In a very difficult road matchup at Fenway Park, Odorizzi delivered in a big way to earn his third victory of the season. He's now toting a 32:8 K:BB over 40.2 innings through six starts, helping to shoulder the workload in the Rays' rotation while Drew Smyly and Alex Cobb opened the season on the DL. While he's cruising thus far, Odorizzi has not allowed a home run this season after serving up 20 over 168 innings a year ago, and he's also benefited from a BABIP (.241) that is more than 40 points below his career mark (.284). Even with those underlying blemishes, Odorizzi's improved control has been a big part of his early-season gains (1.8 BB/9).

Odorizzi (2-2) picked up his third loss of the season Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing nine hits and four earned runs in 6.1 innings while striking out just four batters. Ororizzi's record isn't great, but he's made it through at least six innings in all five of his starts this season and has allowed a combined nine earned runs. His strikeout numbers are down from last season, though, only fanning 7.24 batters per nine innings compared to 9.23 from last season.
