Rays Fill Cleavinger Void With Johnson | Tampa Bay Rays News

The Tampa Bay Rays face a bullpen crisis as reliever Garrett Cleavinger goes on the injured list with forearm tightness—same ailment that sidelined Shane McClanahan. With just three weeks left in the season, the team turns to Cam Booser to fill the lefty void and calls up promising prospect Ty Johnson from Triple-A Durham, who’s ready to make his MLB debut wearing number fifty-five. Johnson, recently transitioned from starter to reliever, boasts a dominant fastball-slider combo and could pitch multiple innings. To make room, infielder Oliver Dunn is designated for assignment. The Rays are hoping Johnson’s arrival can spark a late-season surge. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
