Rays Bring Back Honeywell
After sending reliever Louis Head back to Durham following Thursday’s 10-1 victory, Tampa Bay has recalled right-handers Brent Honeywell to take his spot on the active roster.
Honeywell has made three appearances at the big-league level this season, with no record and a 8.31 ERA. In two appearances with the Durham Bulls, he is yet to allow a run in three innings.
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.
