The Rays have announced their Minor League rosters for their four full-season affiliates. The Opening Day starters on Thursday will be Blake Snell (Triple-A Durham), Jake Faria (Double-A Montgomery), Brent Honeywell (Advanced-A Charlotte), Jose Mujica (Low=-A Bowling Green). Play begins on Thursday. Here are the rosters:

Durham:

Pitchers: (13) Matt Andriese, Andrew Bellatti, Dylan Floro, Eddie Gamboa, Ryan Garton, Jhan Marinez, Kyle McPherson, Austin Pruitt, Mark Sappington, Jaime Schultz, Blake Snell, Tyler Sturdevant, Adam Wilk

Catchers: (2) Carlos Corporan, Luke Maile

Infielders: (7) Nick Franklin, Patrick Leonard, Taylor Motter, Daniel Robertson, Kyle Roller, Cameron Seitzer, Richie Shaffer

Outfielders: (3) Jaff Decker, Mikie Mahtook, Dayron Varona

DL: (5) Ryan Brett, Justin Marks, Burch Smith, Jonny Venters, Neil Wagner

Notes: Brett has a right wrist flexor strain. While the Rays are only carrying three “outfielders,” Leonard, Motter and Shaffer have been playing the outfield too. Andriese, Schultz, Pruitt and Wilk join Snell in the Durham rotation.

Montgomery:

Pitchers: (13) Jeff Ames, Steve Ascher, Buddy Borden, Jake Faria, Taylor Guerrieri, Chih-Wei Hu, Chris Kirsch, Adam Kolarek, Parker Markel, Brett Marshall, Jared Mortensen, Brad Schreiber, Ryne Stanek

Catchers: (2): Jake DePew, Mike Marjama

Infielders: (6) Willy Adames, Tommy Coyle, Casey Gillaspie, Jake Hager, Juniel Querecuto, Kean Wong

Outfielders: (4): Jake Bauers, Johnny Field, Granden Goetzman, Braxton Lee

DL: (2): Grayson Garvin, Justin O’Conner

Notes: Having Bauers and Gillaspie on the same club will lead Bauers to play more in the outfield, as he did in the Arizona Fall League, rather than first base. Faria, Guerrieri, Hu, and Stanek will be part of an impressive rotation.

Charlotte:

Pitchers: (13) Kyle Bird, Damion Carroll, Yonny Chirinos, Edwin Fierro, Michael Franco, Greg Harris, Brent Honeywell, Jeff Howell, Brandon Koch, Brian Miller, Benton Moss, Chris Pike, Hunter Wood

Catchers: (2) Nick Ciuffo, Mac James

Infielders: (6) Jace Conrad, Grant Kay, Alec Sole, Cristian Toribio, Riley Unroe, Andrew Velazquez

Outfielders: (4) Cade Gotta, Bralin Jackson, Thomas Milone, Justin Williams

DL: (2) Lenny Linsky, Nicholas Sawyer

Notes: Unroe and Williams had spectacular winters in Australia. Koch and Moss made the biggest jump of players drafted by the Rays in 2015. Moss is a starter, while Koch pitches in relief.

Bowling Green:

Pitchers: (13) Jose Alvarado, Genesis Cabrera, Diego Castillo, Henry Centeno, Ian Gibaut, Taylor Hawkins, Reece Karalus, Jose Mujica, Roel Ramirez, Alexis Tapia, Cameron Varga, Michael Velasquez, Angel Yepez

Catchers: (2) David Rodriguez, Brett Sullivan

Infielders: (6) Jake Cronenworth, Brandon Lowe, Peter Maris, Joe McCarthy, Kevin Padlo, Michael Russell

Outfielders: (4) Zac Law, Angel Moreno, Angel Perez, Manny Sanchez

DL: (1) Fernando Baez

Notes: Law was the MVP in Princeton, and Cronenworth received similar honors for his play in Hudson Valley. Padlo was acquired in the trade with Colorado that involved Corey Dickerson.
