Feyereisen Returns From Injured List, But Phillips Now Hurt
The Rays will get a piece of the back end of their bullpen returning tonight, as reliever J.P. Feyereisen has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list after missing over five weeks with discomfort in his right shoulder.
But some of the energy on the field wil be lost, as outfielder Brett Phillips has landed on the injured list after suffering a right ankle sprain. Phillips said he suffered the injury while trying to rob Ryan Mountcastle of a home run Sunday afternoon.
In addition, Tampa Bay has recalled left-hander Dietrich Enns from Triple-A Durham, and optioned Josh Fleming.
