Rays Re-Sign Oliver Drake
4 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays are re-signing relief pitcher Oliver Drake to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. The club also traded reliever John Curtiss to the Miami Marlins in exchange for minor league first baseman Evan Edwards. The 34-year-old Drake is expected to start the season on the 60-day injured list due to a flexor tendon strain, with the expectation that he could be ready around the middle of the season. He pitched for five teams in 2018 and worked a career-high 56 innings after being called up from the minors in 2019 with Tampa. But the right-hander made just five appearances last year before going on the injured list for five-plus weeks with biceps tendinitis. Drake can be ignored in all fantasy formats.
