Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Josh Fleming will get the start on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves. It will be Fleming's seventh start of the season this year in 15 appearances. He's been used as a bulk pitcher for the Rays, too, but he'll start this one off and makes for an interesting streamer in DFS and deeper leagues because of his 3.26 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 42/17 K/BB in 69 innings in 2021. Fleming's 15.3 percent strikeout rate doesn't leave a whole lot of upside, though, but Atlanta's lineup ...

Five Tampa Bay Rays pitchers combined to throw a seven-inning no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday in the second game of a doubleheader.

Fleming, who was activated from the injured list to serve as the bulk pitcher in this one, got the win by striking out ...

Tampa Bay Rays swing man Josh Fleming (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right calf strain and the team recalled Louis Head from Triple-A, according to MLB.com.

As for Head, the 31-year-old isn't a fantasy asset, though earlier in the year he ...

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Josh Fleming is expected to pitch the majority of the innings behind opener Andrew Kittredge on Friday against the Angels, according to Adam Berry of MLB.com. He has pitched slightly better when taking the mound after an opener this year, as he is 4-1 with a 3.54 ERA and 15.2 percent strikeout rate in such instances. He'll be facing a tough matchup against the Angels though, and managers may want to keep him out of the lineup tonight.
