Jax was removed from Saturday's start against the Phillies due to a lower-back contusion, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis:Jax took a 104 mph comebacker off the bat of Trea Turner in the third inning, which ended up being a groundout for the Phillies shortstop to end the inning. Steven Matz took the mound for the Rays in the fourth, but it was a precautionary decision, as both Jax and manager Kevin Cash told reporters after the game that the right-hander wouldn't miss any time, per Topkin. The American League Divisional Series will begin Oct. 3.
