Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Zach Eflin<\/a> was forced to remove his wedding ring last week after umpires told him he\u2019d be ejected if it remained on his left hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eflin took off the ring against the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/u><\/a> last Thursday, but the right-hander intends to wear his wedding ring on Tuesday in his start against the Baltimore Orioles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll see how the umpire crew is,” Eflin said Monday, according to the Tampa Bay Times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m going to wear it. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m ever really going to take it off because they want me to take it off. If they asked me to take it off<\/a>, because they\u2019re going to eject me out of the game, then I\u2019ll take it off. But like I keep telling everybody, it\u2019s important to me. It\u2019s my representation of the covenant I have with my wife. So if other people have problems with that, and then so be it….<\/p>\n

“If they\u2019re really coming after me for a rubber wedding ring, then I think they have their head in the wrong spot.”<\/p>\n

Pitchers are not allowed to wear jewelry on their hands, but Eflin doesn\u2019t see his rubber wedding band<\/u><\/a> as providing him with a competitive advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s on my glove hand and I never really use both my hands to rub down the ball,” he said. “So you don\u2019t really even see it when I\u2019m out there anyway. So the only time they really see it is if we\u2019re in a very cold game, or when I\u2019m getting checked (by the umpires) off to the side.”<\/p>\n

Eflin married his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Dennen, in December 2020, and the couple have three kids, including twins born in March. The two grew up in Oviedo, Florida, but went to rival high schools<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eflin is 4-0 with an ERA of 2.25 through five starts during the 2023 MLB season<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
