KEY GAME INFORMATION
TAMPA BAY: 2016: 68-94, fifth place
Manager: Kevin Cash (third season)
Who's new? OF Colby Rasmus, OF/1B Rickie Weeks Jr., RHP Tommy Hunter, RHP Jumbo Diaz, C Wilson Ramos, C Derek Norris, OF Mallex Smith, RHP Jose De Leon, RHP Shawn Tolleson
Who's gone? 2B Logan Forsythe, IF/OF Steve Pearce, OF Desmond Jennings, OF Mikie Mahtook, C Hank Conger, IF/OF Taylor Motter, C Bobby Wilson, LHP Drew Smyly, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Steve Geltz, LHP Dana Eveland, RHP Kevin Jepsen, RHP Tyler Sturdevant, RHP Dylan Floro
Projected lineup: DH Corey Dickerson (.245, 24, 70), CF Kevin Kiermaier (.246, 12, 37, 21 SB), 3B Evan Longoria (.273, 36, 98), 2B Brad Miller (.243, 30, 81), RF Steven Souza (.247, 17, 49), LF Colby Rasmus (.206, 15, 54 with Astros), SS Tim Beckham (.247, 5, 16), 1B Logan Morrison (.238, 14, 43), C Curt Casali (.186, 8, 25)
Rotation: RH Chris Archer (9-19, 4.02 ERA), RH Jake Odorizzi (10-6, 3.69), RH Alex Cobb (1-2, 8.59 in five starts), LH Blake Snell (6-8, 3.54), RH Matt Andriese (8-8, 4.37)
Key relievers: RH Alex Colome (2-4, 1.91, 37/40 SV), RH Tommy Hunter (2-2, 3.18 with Indians), RH Danny Farquhar (1-0, 3.06), LH Xavier Cede'o (3-4, 3.70), RH Erasmo Ramirez (7-11, 3.77), RH Jumbo Diaz (1-1, 3.14), RH Chase Whitley (0-0, 2.51)
Hot spots: Shortstop and catcher. Tim Beckham and the combination of Curt Casali and newly signed Derek Norris are holding down the fort while Matt Duffy and Wilson Ramos recover from injuries. Beckham and Casali or Norris can at least try to make the situation awkward by hitting. That wasn't their strong suit last year, but the Rays will need someone to bat eighth and ninth while Ramos (knee surgery; out until July) and Duffy (Achilles surgery; out until May) heal.
Outlook: How do you fix a team that ranked eighth in the AL in ERA and 14th in runs scored? If you're the Rays, you trade away your second-best hitter (Forsythe) for a pitcher who will start the season in Triple-A (De Leon), then sign an outfielder with a .641 OPS (Rasmus) to be your second-highest paid player. Expectations for a team with the third-lowest payroll in the game shouldn't be high to begin with. Getting Duffy and Ramos back from the DL will help, but not enough to slow rumors of Archer, Cobb and Odorizzi getting traded if they pitch well.
PITTSBURGH: 2016: 78-83, third place
Manager: Clint Hurdle (seventh season)
Who's new? RHP Daniel Hudson, IF Phil Gosselin
Who's gone? IF Sean Rodriguez, OF Matt Joyce, SP Jeff Locke, SP Ryan Vogelsong, RP Neftali Feliz, C Eric Fryer
Projected lineup: 2B Josh Harrison (.283, 4 HR, 59 RBI, 19 SB), 1B Josh Bell (.273, 3, 19), RF Andrew McCutchen (.256, 24, 79), CF Starling Marte (.311, 9, 46, 47 SB), LF Gregory Polanco (.258, 22, 86), 3B Jung-ho Kang (.255, 21, 62), C Francisco Cervelli (.264, 1, 33), SS Jordy Mercer (.256, 11, 59)
Rotation: RH Gerrit Cole (7-10, 3.88 ERA), RH Ivan Nova (12-8, 4.17 for Yankees and Pirates), RH Jameson Taillon (5-4, 3.38), RH Chad Kuhl (5-4, 4.20), RH Drew Hutchison (1-0, 5.25 with Blue Jays and Pirates) or Steven Brault (0-3, 4.86) or Trevor Williams (1-1, 7.82) or Tyler Glasnow (0-2, 4.24)
Key relievers: LH Tony Watson (2-5, 3.06, 15/20 SV), RH Daniel Hudson (3-2, 5.22 with Diamondbacks), LH Felipe Rivero (1-6, 4.09 for Nationals and Pirates), RH Juan Nicasio (10-7, 4.50), LH Antonio Bastardo (3-0, 4.52 with Mets and Pirates), RH Jared Hughes (1-1, 3.03), LH Wade LeBlanc (4-0, 3.77 with Mariners and Pirates)
Hot spots: Rotation and closer. Right-hander Glasnow, 23, is a consensus top-25 prospect who made his major league debut last year. The Pirates would love to see him seize the fifth starter's job in camp, but right-hander Hutchison offers a more experienced option if Glasnow isn't ready. Watson became the closer after Mark Melancon was traded to Washington last summer, but his sinker/slider/changeup mix isn't typical ninth-inning stuff. Keep an eye on Rivero, a 25-year-old lefty acquired in the Melancon trade. His fastball actually gained velocity as last season wore on, eventually touching triple digits. Rivero might begin the season as the set-up man but his ascension to the ninth inning seems inevitable.
Outlook: The Pirates made some interesting tweaks after missing the playoffs for the first time in four years. They made no major trades, signed only two major league free agents (pitchers Nova and Hudson) and revamped Hurdle's coaching staff. They also moved their outfielders around: McCutchen goes from center to right, Marte from left to center, and Polanco from right to left. McCutchen is coming off the worst season of his career. So is ace right-hander Cole. The path back to the playoffs begins with the two stars bouncing back. If the team's other homegrown talent ' Taillon, Glasnow, Bell and Polanco ' continue their evolution, Pittsburgh should return to the postseason in 2017.
PREVIEW
Snell rejoins Rays' rotation against Pirates
 

PITTSBURGH -- When last seen in the major leagues, Blake Snell couldn't make it work.

The left-hander was the Tampa Bay Rays' fourth starter coming out of spring training, but he had trouble with his command. By the middle of May, Snell was shipped back to Triple-A Durham.

On Monday, the Rays added him to their taxi squad. On Tuesday night, he was officially recalled from Durham. On Wednesday night, he is scheduled to start against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.

The time in Durham was apparently just what Snell needed. The 24-year-old was 5-0 there with a 2.66 ERA, 61 strikeouts and 15 walks in seven starts.

"He needs to come down and work on his command," Durham Bulls manager Jared Sandberg told the Durham Herald Sun when Snell got demoted. "He needs to learn how to pitch deep into ballgames."

Snell (0-4, 4.71 ERA) set a couple of goals for himself.

"Pitch deep into the game," said Snell, who has 16 major league starts of five innings or fewer, tied for second most by an American League pitcher over his first 27 career games.

Also, he wanted "consistency in throwing strikes."

When he was optioned to the Bulls, Snell was 0-4 with a 6.00 ERA in eight starts.

On Wednesday, Snell will be looking for his first win in the major leagues since Sept. 22, 2016, against the New York Yankees.

He will have a tough act to follow, or at least a great example that he was able to watch.

In the interleague series opener Tuesday, Alex Cobb pitched a gem for Tampa Bay (41-38) despite getting a no-decision. The Rays emerged with a 4-2, 10-inning win that broke a two-game losing streak.

Cobb had a no-hitter through six innings and finished with eight scoreless innings, allowing two hits with a walk and four strikeouts.

Ivan Nova (7-5, 3.06 ERA) will start Wednesday for the Pirates (35-42). The right-hander is coming off one of his rare poor starts since he was acquired from the Yankees last July.

Nova gave up four runs on 11 hits -- the most hits he has given up in nearly five years -- over seven innings Wednesday in a 4-2 loss at Milwaukee. He struck out five and walked two.

"Those guys were ready to swing right from the first inning," said Nova, who gave up two runs on four hits, including a homer, in the first inning, prompting a mound visit from pitching coach Ray Searage.

"It wasn't his 'A' game," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Probably a 'B' game. It just shows you the ability he has to compete, make pitches and keep the team in the game."

Nova was hardly bent out of shape after the outing, the 15th time in as many starts this season he has pitched at least six innings.

"I felt like I gave my team everything I had, and I feel good about it," Nova said. "I was lucky I went seven innings."
