Taj Bradley is dealing with a strained pectoral muscle and likely to miss the start of the season. The injury throws the Rays' rotation into uncertainty as they explore options from their limited pitching depth.

Jacob Waguespack stands out as a potential starter for the Rays due to his ability to miss bats and solid strikeout percentage. Lefty prospect Jacob Lopez also shows promise. Bradley remains optimistic about his recovery from the injury, aiming for a slow but steady return to full strength.
