Rays Bullpen Shake-Up After Wells Injury | Tampa Bay Rays News

Tampa Bay Rays hit the injury bug hard again as Tyler Wells goes on the IL with forearm tightness — a major blow after his stellar 1.5 ERA in 14 games. With Manuel Rodriguez and Garrett Cleavinger already sidelined, the Rays call up prospects Ty Johnson and Brody Hopkins, while bringing back righty Alex Cook (2-0, 4.53 ERA in Durham) for immediate bullpen help. On the bright side, outfielder Jake Fraley returns from a hernia-related 60-day DL stint, having posted a .690 OPS and 2 homers before his injury. To make room, catcher Kenny Piper heads down to Durham, and Jacob Melton — who was also hurt — is moved to the 60-day list.
