ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays had to once again shuffle their bullpen personnel prior to Sunday’s series finale against the Angels at Tropicana Field. Veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel was placed on the 15-day injured list after just one appearance with his new team due to a right wrist strain. His assignment was made retroactive to Thursday.
The Rays also designated right-hander Andrew Wantz after he struggled in the late innings of Saturday’s 14-3 loss to the Angels.
To fill those spots in the bullpen, the Rays recalled left-hander Cam Booser and righty Trevor Martin from Triple-A Durham.
