Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow, who was scheduled to throw four innings and around 60 pitches in a rehab assignment for the Triple-A Durham Bulls Wednesday night against the Charlotte Knights, was pulled from his start after just one inning and 11 pitches.
Durham Bulls broadcaster Patrick Kinas broke the news on social media.
In a surprise, @RaysBaseball RH #TylerGlasnow exits after just 1IP & 11p.
