Rays Need Forsythe Healthy to Improve in AL Standings

In his third season with the Rays, Forsythe's 2016 campaign has been off to a rocky start. He was injured in an outfield collision with Kevin Kiermaier in April, causing him to miss one game. 

A surprise breakout performer last season, he set career highs in home runs (17), runs batted in (68) and stolen bases (nine), among numerous other categories. His 4.1 wins above replacement, per FanGraphs, was better than his combined career WAR.

While all involved recognize Forsythe's 2015 campaign was likely an outlier, he's still expected to be a contributor this season. 

Thus far, he is hitting .308 with four home runs and 12 RBI.
