Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Shane Baz could make his MLB debut in Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Topkin also suggested that the Rays could roll with a bullpen game on Friday or move Luis Patino up a day from Saturday to Friday. Baz is the team's top overall prospect based on MLB.com's prospect rankings. The 22-year-old right-hander has split the 2021 season at Double-A and Triple-A. Over 78.2 innings, he's posted a 2.06 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP while averaging 12.9 K/9. If the Rays do indeed call him up, he likely wouldn't pitch too deep into Friday's game, but he could very well deliver some strong ratios against a weak Tigers lineup.
