Rays' Brendan McKay: Slated for bullpen role Tuesday

McKay is expected to pitch out of the bullpen Tuesday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

McKay was originally scheduled to start, but the Rays opted to give Yonny Chirinos the ball instead. Seeing as Chirinos will be on a limited pitch count, McKay will be the one most likely to fact into a decision. In 46.2 big-league innings this season, the rookie left-hander owns a 5.40 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB.
