EDGE Analysis

Wisler made a relief appearance Friday and allowed two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one in one inning. The right-hander required two stints on the injured list during the second half of the season due to his finger injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to remain on the ALDS roster.

Wisler, who was activated from the injured list Thursday and fired a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit in a loss to the Astros that same night, came out of the outing with no setbacks on his previously swollen right middle finger, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports. "Very encouraged. Wasn't totally sure what it was going to look like, how he was going to feel," manager Kevin Cash said. "He said he felt really good, no issues, so that's just a huge sign for us."

EDGE Analysis

Wisler allowed a single to Yordan Alvarez but retired the other three batters he faced, and just as important, threw his slider on 10 of his 11 pitches. The relevance of that nugget is that Wisler believes spinning breaking balls too often led to the swelling in the first place, but the right-hander feels the combination of ongoing diligent treatment and the frequent off days built into a playoff schedule will allow him to get through the Rays' postseason run without any issues.

EDGE Analysis

Wisler has made just a single major-league appearances since Aug. 15, as he returned from a trip to the injured list for middle finger inflammation in early September only to head right back to the injured list.

Ryan Sherriff was optioned to clear a spot in the bullpen.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was able to throw a pair of bullpens during the weekend series against the Marlins overall and continues to demonstrate he could be over his finger issue.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been dealing with the finger issue since Aug. 13, when he first went on the injured list as a result of it.

EDGE Analysis

Wisler was placed on the injured list Wednesday, and he'll see a hand specialist Friday to determine the extent of his injury. The team's doctors are hopeful that the right-hander's shutdown will allow time for his inflammation to subside. Since Wisler will need time to build back up after his pause, he's slated to miss more than the minimum of 10 days.
