BASEBALL-MLB-TB-MCKAYReuters America WireThe Tampa Bay Rays will promote two-way prospect Brendan McKay to take the mound at home against the Texas Rangers on Saturday, according to a report Thursday night from the Tampa Bay Times. McKay, ranked among the top 25 prospects in all of baseball by MLB Pipeline, was the No. On the mound, McKay is 6-0 with a 1.22 ERA in 13 games (11 starts) between Double-A Montgomery and Triple-A Durham this season. When the Rays drafted McKay, they made clear their intention to let him both hit and pitch in the minors. Despite the win over the Twins, the Rays have been reeling of late, losing seven of their past 10 games.
