Rays Put McHugh On COVID IL
Prior to Wednesday’s game, the Rays placed reliever Collin McHugh on the COVID-related injured list.
The 33-year-old has not pitched since Saturday, when he earned the victory over Baltimore by tossing two scoreless innings of relief and striking out five. This is the second time he has been on the injured list with the Rays this season, after missing 18 games in late April though early May with a lower back strain.
To take his place on the active roster, pitcher Chris Mazza was recalled from Triple-A Durham.
Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine. One of the people most associated with baseball coverage in Tampa Bay, he spent 13 seasons covering the Rays for flagship radio station WDAE, first as producer of Rays Radio broadcasts, then as beat reporter beginning in 2011. He likes new analytics and aged bourbon, and is the owner of one of the ugliest knuckleballs ever witnessed by baseball scouts.
