Baz has tossed seven innings across two outings since returning to Triple-A Durham after a monthlong absence for the Olympics, giving up two runs on four hits with a 9:0 K:BB.
They've eased him back in after his lengthy absence, continuing the Rays' trend of treating Baz with kid gloves. He's yet to exceed five innings all season long, and that'll probably remain the case down the stretch. Despite his somewhat limited workload, this has been a breakthrough season for Baz, who struggled with his control in years past but has a spectacular 91:10 K:BB in 62.2 innings this season. He'll likely reach the big leagues next year, but it won't be a surprise if the Rays continue monitoring his innings.
