Alex Colome has left the list for the foreseeable future as he was traded to the Mariners this past Friday where he should fit into a set up role in front of Edwin Diaz. This leaves an opening in Tampa that should be filled by some combination of Jose Alvarado and Chaz Roe. Alvarado worked the 7th and 8th inning of a tie game yesterday, but I wouldn’t read too much into it as he should be the biggest beneficiary here. Yes, he is left handed, but he has fared well against righties and actually has better career splits against his same side. Roe is certainly in the mix as well, although he has struggled this year with a 4.42 ERA.
