Ê Has 8 saves, T-3rd in the majors and 2nd in the AL…since the start of 2016, hasn’t allowed a run in any of his 45 apps that have ended with a save. Ê Over the last two seasons, has recorded 7 saves of 1.1 IP or more, most in the AL over that span and one shy of NL leader LAD Kenley Jansen. Ê His 2 blown saves (April 23 vs. HOU, Sun at TOR) are one shy of matching his total from last season…converted 37 of 40 opportunities in 2016. Ê Pitched for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic during spring training, going 1-0 with a 4.15 ERA (4.1-IP, 2-ER) in 5 apps.

#17 JUMBO DÍAZ, RH Last App: 5/5 vs. TOR (BS/L, 0.1-IP, 2-H, 3-R, 1-BB, 1-SO, 1-HR) Saves-Opps: 0-2 vs. LH: .300 (6-20), 1-HR2017: 0-2-0, 5.14 ERA, 15 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 2x-last 4/21 vs. HOU IR-RS: 13-5 vs. RH: .212 (7-33)

Ê His ERA increased from 3.29 to 5.14 after yesterday’s app vs. TOR…allowed 1 IR to score and yielded a season-high 3 ER of his own, his most since Aug 22, 2016 vs. LAD (3, with CIN)…gave up a go-ahead, 3-run homer to Kendrys Morales, his first allowed as a Ray after 8 HR in 2016.

Ê Has made 15 apps, T-6th in the AL…has suffered 2 losses and 2 blown saves…has yielded multiple runs in 3 of his 4 run-scoring apps this year. Ê Has made 4 apps of 4 outs or more this season, and 5 apps of 0.1 IP or fewer…has entered with the Rays tied or ahead in 12 of his 15 apps. Ê Pitched for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic (2 apps; 10.80 ERA) and did not join the Rays in spring training until March 22.

#43 DANNY FARQUHAR, RH Last App: 5/4 vs. MIA (1.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 1-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .143 (3-21)2017: 1-1-0, 3.95 ERA, 16 G Long Relief App: 1.2, 4/7 vs. TOR IR-RS: 8-1 vs. RH: .259 (7-27), 1-HR

Ê Has made 7 straight scoreless apps…pitched the 8th on Thu vs. MIA, pitching out of his own 2-on, 1-out jam with a F9 and SO to end the inning. Ê Has made 16 apps, tied for 2nd in the AL (T-4th in majors) and one more than Jumbo Díaz for the team lead…has held left-handed hitters to a .143

avg. (3-for-21) and none of those 3 hits have left the infield (Andrew Benintendi swinging bunt, Brian McCann bunt single, Chris Davis infield single). Ê Issued a bases-loaded walk to Seth Smith on April 26 at BAL, his only batter faced, the ninth walk-off walk in franchise history (last Aug 5, 2015 at

CWS)…it was the third walk-off walk on 4 pitches in club history, following May 9, 2000 at NYY (Jim Morris) and Aug 12, 2014 at TEX (Cesar Ramos). Ê Has yielded 18 HR since the start of the 2015 season, T-3rd among AL relievers…yielded a solo homer to Josh Donaldson on April 7 vs. TOR.

#50 AUSTIN PRUITT, RH Last App: 5/3 vs. MIA (BS/L, 1.0-IP, 7-H, 5-R, 0-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: 0-1 vs. LH: .364 (12-33)2017: 3-1-0, 7.85 ERA, 11 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 3.1, 4/19 vs. DET IR-RS: 3-1 vs. RH: .377 (20-53), 2-HR

Ê On Wed vs. MIA, yielded hits to his first 7 BF in the 6th…they were the most in an inning by a Rays reliever since Travis Harper on June 21, 2005 at NYY (8-hit 8th)…also was the first time a Rays reliever yielded 5 runs or more in an app of 1 IP or fewer since Grant Balfour on June 8, 2014 vs. SEA.

Ê Out of the bullpen, his 31 hits allowed are most in the majors…is 2nd among relievers in runs allowed (18) and tied for 1st in earned runs (16). Ê Was the first AL rookie with 3 wins in April since Masahiro Tanaka in 2014…was the third Rays rookie with 3 wins in April (last RH Lance Carter in 2003). Ê His first scoreless app of the season snapped a streak of allowing runs in 6 straight apps, most by a reliever to start their career in club history.

#30 ERASMO RAMIREZ, RH Last App: 5/2 at MIA (1.0-IP, 2-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .120 (3-25), 1-HR2017: 2-0-0, 2.75 ERA, 8 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 4.0, 2x-last 4/26 at BAL IR-RS: 3-1 vs. RH: .227 (10-44), 2-HR

Ê Reinstated from the paternity list today…last app was Tue at MIA; yielded an RBI double to Giancarlo Stanton, snapping an 8 IP scoreless streak. Ê Has gone 1.2 IP or longer in 5 of his 7 relief apps this season…has gone 4 IP in relief twice (last April 26 at BAL) and made a 5 IP spot start. Ê Has allowed 16 HR out of the bullpen since the start of last season—tied for most among AL relievers over that span and one shy of the NL co-leaders. Ê In 2016, made a team-leading 64 apps (1 start) in his first full season as a reliever…his 85 IP as a reliever led the AL and was 2nd in the majors. Ê Has won both of his decisions this season to snap a career-long-tying 7-game losing streak…last season, his 11 losses as a reliever were the most

in the majors since LAA Scot Shields (11) in 2005 and set a club record, passing Brad Boxberger (10) in 2015.

47 CHASE WHITLEY, RH Last App: 5/5 vs. TOR (1.1-IP, 1-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 1-1 vs. LH: .050 (1-20)2017: 1-0-1, 0.69 ERA, 8 G Long Relief App: 3.0, 2x-last 4/25 at BAL IR-RS: 3-0 vs. RH: .136 (3-22)

Ê Yesterday vs. TOR, retired all 3 BF in the 7th before a leadoff 8th-inning double, snapping his streak of 20 straight batters retired…replaced with 1-on, 1-out and Jumbo Díaz allowed the inherited runner to score, the first run charged against him to snap his scoreless streak at 12.2 innings.

Ê Has made 8 apps this season (7 scoreless)…recalled from Triple-A Durham on April 16…opponents are batting just .095 (4-for-42) against him. Ê Has gone 1-0-1 with a 1.65 ERA (27.1-IP, 5-ER) in 13 apps (1 start) with the Rays since returning from Tommy John surgery on Sep 11, 2016 at NYY. Ê Recorded his first career save on April 28 at TOR…on April 25 at BAL, got his first win since before Tommy John surgery, going 727 days in between.
