Rehab for Rays' Shane Baz sidetracked by oblique issue

Shane Baz's rehab has been slowed down by another oblique issue. The Rays are counting on the right-hander to return to their rotation this season, though he was shut down last week after “feeling something” in his oblique after pitching in a simulated game. “We're going to re-evaluate him, I think Thursday,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said before Tuesday's game against the Rangers at Tropicana Field. Baz is working his way back from September 2022 Tommy John surgery.
