The Tampa Bay Rays will play the Atlanta Braves Monday at 1:05 p.m. ET at the Braves' spring training home, CoolToday Park in North Port, Florida.

Newly acquired Zach Eflin will start for the Rays Monday. Over the winter, the Rays signed Eflin to the largest free agent contract in franchise history, shelling out a three-year, $40 million deal.

Glasnow has been sidelined from throwing with an oblique injury.
