Elvin Rodriguez Recalled On Friday
1 year agoTampa Bay Rays pitcher Elvin Rodriguez has been recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday. The right-hander will join the mix ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Atlanta Braves. The 25-year-old has been pitching surprisingly well in the minors this season. He holds a 3.42 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 53/19 K/BB ratio across 47 1/3 innings (11 starts). It's uncertain if the Rays plan on using him in the rotation or out of the bullpen. In a corresponding move, righty reliever Ryan Thompson has been optioned to the minors.
