The 27-year-old right hander tossed seven scoreless frames against the Yankees on May 11, but was placed on the 60-day IL the next day with a flexor tendon strain.
Tampa Bay hasn’t officially announced he will undergo Tommy John surgery, but that is the only direction this is heading, according to our panel of doctors.

Colorado’s opening-day starter underwent Tommy John surgery on May 12 and will miss the rest of the season plus the beginning of next year.
Marquez had a 4.95 ERA in 4 starts this season. He was initially placed on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation at the end of April.
The Rockies have a team option on him after this season, meaning they can either choose to pick up his $16 million contract for next season or spend $2.5 million to release him.
Trivino did not pitch for the Yankees this season after battling elbow issues that popped up in March. He and the team attempted the non-surgical route, but his elbow issues persisted during his ramp up.
He underwent Tommy John surgery in early May.
Trivino could be retained via arbitration in 2024 but is making $4.1 million this year. He could also be a non-tender candidate since he’ll be missing at least half of the season.
