How many ways will the Rays use Brendan McKay?

Brendan McKay's run as the top prospect on my weekly top-10 list will be a short-lived one. Following an exhausting, 18-inning victory on Thursday that forced the Tampa Bay Rays to use both Jalen Beeks and Ryan Yarbrough for over 40 pitches, the club is now an arm or two short for this weekend's series against the Texas Rangers. Luckily for Tampa Bay, McKay has been one of the best pitchers in professional baseball and was just a phone call away.

Well, they made that call. McKay will pitch for the Rays on Saturday.
