J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) for assignment on Tuesday in order to open up a 40-man roster spot for recently acquired pitcher
Zach Eflin. Feyereisen underwent surgery on his right shoulder this offseason and is slated to miss significant time next season. He could be picked up by an interested team after he didn't allow a single run in 24 1/3 innings for the Rays in 2022 while picking up a save, walking five and striking out 25 in 22 appearances (two starts). If Feyereisen clears waivers and returns to the Rays, he'll continue to rehab his shoulder until returning to a high-leverage relief role later next season.

J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) had right shoulder surgery on Wednesday that was described as a "general cleanup of the rotator cuff and labrum." The goal is for Feyereisen to resume throwing in four months, so he will miss at least the start of the 2023 season. Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin believes that Feyereisen will make a post All-Star break return to game action. In his first full season with the Rays in 2022, he allowed an unearned run on seven hits while walking five and striking out 25 in 24 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old missed the final four months of the year due to the pinched nerve in his shoulder. Once healthy in the second half next year, Feyereisen should have a high-leverage relief role in Tampa's bullpen.

3 years agoTampa Bay Rays skipper Kevin Cash said on Monday that relief pitcher
J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) was "feeling better" but still sore enough that he's only receiving treatment. The 29-year-old right-hander said he pitched through shoulder pain for a few weeks prior to landing on the injured list on June 3. The Rays initially said Feyereisen was dealing with a bone bruise, but he's since been diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement. The good news is that he's not dealing with any structural damage, although he's still unlikely to be ready to return until at least early July since he has yet to resume throwing. Feyereisen had one save and hadn't allowed a single earned run in 24 1/3 innings while striking out 25 and walking five before his injury.

J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) received an MRI on Saturday, which revealed a bone bruise in his injured right shoulder. The 29-year-old righty was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday and has apparently been dealing with shoulder pain over the last several weeks. Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters that a bone bruise is an encouraging sign, considering how tricky shoulder issues can be for pitchers. He still has no timetable for his return as of now. Feyereisen has been excellent out of the Rays bullpen this year, posting a sparkling 4-0 record, 0.00 ERA, 0.49 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB to go along with seven holds and one save.
