Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: Not getting save chances
Manuel Rodriguez allowed one hit and struck out two across a scoreless inning to record a hold Thursday against the Guardians.The right-hander has seen plenty of high-leverage usage since rejoining the Tampa Bay Rays bullpen just before the All-Star break, so he was viewed as a logical candidate to get save chances when Pete Fairbanks (lat) hit the injured list. However, Rodriguez hasn't gotten a save chance in his last seven appearances, while Thursday's hold was his first in that span. He's pitched well since Fairbanks was sidelined, posting a 2.53 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB over his last 10.2 innings, but manager Kevin Cash's matchup-based approach seems to have cut Rodriguez out of the closer mix.

Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: Earns save Tuesday
Manuel Rodriguez earned the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mariners, allowing a hit and striking out a batter over a scoreless inning.Rodriguez received the save opportunity Tuesday and converted for his second save over the last week. He's been a trustworthy bullpen option throughout the season, posting a 2.28 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB in 27.2 innings, but he will likely remain in a closing committee with manager Kevin Cash also giving save opportunities to Edwin Uceta and Garrett Cleavinger over the last 10 days.

Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: Picks up first save
Manuel Rodriguez picked up the save over the Athletics on Wednesday, striking out one over a perfect ninth inning.Rodriguez took over with a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and needed nine pitches to get through the leadoff batter before ultimately retiring the side in order for his first save of the campaign. Rodriguez now appears to be working in a closer-by-committee situation since Pete Fairbanks is on the injured list due to a lat strain, as Edwin Uceta recorded the Tampa Bay Rays' previous save on Aug. 20. The 28-year-old right-hander has yet to allow a run in August, posting a 10:3 K:BB over that seven-inning stretch (eight appearances).
