Phil Hughes, RHP
0-0, -.-- ERA
Hughes is beginning what he hopes will be a rebound campaign from a season that was mostly lost to injury and inconsistency. He enjoyed some level of success vs. the Rays in '11, permitting two runs and five hits in 8 2/3 innings.

The 2011 AL Rookie of the Year hopes to avoid the sophomore jinx. Rays manager Joe Maddon believes he can if he shows improvement against left-handers. Hellickson is 8-5 with a 2.51 ERA in 18 appearances at Tropicana Field.
