MAY 30th
Edwin Jackson and 2b Willy Aybar were both traded to the Cardinals for starter Adam Ottavino and closer Carlos Perez who has great potential. Both were sent to AAA-Durham.

Troy Percival has saved 15 out of 19 games while having a 4.24 ERA.

The Rays called up prospect Jacob McGee and in 7 starts, he has a 2-4 mark with a 6.08 ERA. He might not be ready for big league hitters just yet.

Carlos Pena and B.J. Upton are the only Rays with 10+ homeruns. Pena has 15 and Upton has 12.

Upton also leads the AL in steals with 22 and the Rays lead all of baseball with 82 as a team.

In the bullpen, besides Munter's disaster. Al Reyes and Grant Balfour have both been horrendous. Reyes is 0-3 with a 10.38 ERA in 13 games. Balfour has a 8.25 ERA in 13 games, but is 1-0.
