Hearing #Rays Reed is headed to the IL with a finger/hand issue. Which explains, as @GraceRemiWTSP reported, why Honeywell is joining team in KC.

Reed, acquired at the trade deadline in 2020, last pitched for the Rays on April 15, when he allowed a two-run homer to Adolis Garcia in the tenth inning, and took the loss against the Texas Rangers.
Honeywell made his major league debut on April 11, working two perfect innings against the New York Yankees.
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.
