The Rays can't afford to spend big on players, so the cost-controlled rotation they've assembled is likely to dictate how far they'll go.

Christina Kahrl MLB Staff Writer
Wilson Ramos' activation from the DL to slot in immediately behind the plate for the Rays might seem surprising since it triggered the DFA of Derek Norris, especially when injuries have pressed DH Corey Dickerson into action in LF. But Ramos did throw out 2 of 7 SB attempts in nine minor-league rehab starts behind the plate. If he's ready to both catch and rake -- big if's -- he'll give the Rays' offense another big righty bat to balance against the huge years lefties Logan Morrison and Dickerson are delivering.
Ranking MLB defenses: Rays
The Rays are without Kevin Kiermaier in center, but they're still getting above-average contributions from every position but second base this season.
Logan Morrison and great seasons you are probably overlooking
Morrison is swinging less often this year, but he's missing more often. In other words: Swing hard, hope you hit the ball in the air and watch it go over the fence.

What does Brendan McKay's CWS outing say for his MLB future?
Brendan McKay believes he can do what no player since Babe Ruth has done in major league baseball -- pitch and hit. He did it in Louisville's first College World Series game to minimal success. Is refusing to choose one over the other the right choice?
