With original starter Griffin Jax (elbow) sidelined as a late scratch, the Rays will turn to Legumina as the opener for Saturday's affair. Legumina, who was a Mariner earlier this season before being dealt to Tampa Bay, will make his second appearance against his former team this year. This will be the 29-year-old's fifth start of the campaign. Through 48.1 innings this season, the right-hander owns a 4.28 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB in 38 appearances.

After struggling with Seattle, where he had a 4.63 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in eight appearances, Legumina has been effective since joining the Rays. The right-hander has a 3.51 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB in 33.1 innings for Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old has opened four times for the Rays, including his last two appearances, and has gone more than an inning and given up one run or fewer in both of those starts.
