The Tampa Bay Rays placed right-hander Manuel Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a strained right foreram. The move was retroactive to Tuesday.
From pitching prospects to veteran arms and young studs, the Rays truly have one of the best pitching depth in baseball. With pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training, the Rays pitching staff stands out as the team’s strength.
The Rays are known for finding gold among otherwise forgotten bullpen arms. I’m going to make a prediction here: this year’s surprising bullpen arm will be Manuel Rodriguez.
