Feyereisen Heads To IL, Mazza Recalled
Prior to Wednesday’s contest, the Rays placed reliever J.P. Feyereisen on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder discomfort.
After a strong start with Tampa Bay after being acquired from Milwaukee in the trade for Willy Adames May 21, the right-hander has allowed eight hits and seven runs, five earned, while walking five in his his five outings, encompassing 4 2/3 innings.
To take Feyereisen’s spot on the active roster, right-hander 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.
