Shane Baz returned to form after missing most of 2022 and all of 2023 due to elbow issues and Tommy John surgery. Activated from the injured list on July 5, he made 14 starts, posting a 3.06 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 69 strikeouts in 79.1 innings. Baz's strong performance positions him as a key player in the Rays' rotation heading into the next season.
