The Tampa Bay Rays have sent rookie starter Taj Bradley back to Triple-A Durham to further his development, specifically by transitioning him to a five-day schedule that is standard in the majors. Bradley had posted a 3-0 record with a 3.52 ERA and struck out at least six in each of his three starts for the Rays. To replace Bradley on the active roster, the Rays called up reliever Heath Hembree.
The Tampa Bay Rays have selected the contract of right-hander Braden Bristo from Triple-A Durham and optioned Taj Bradley back to Durham. To open a spot on the 40-man roster, Tampa Bay transferred righty Shane Baz from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Bristo, a longtime Yankees farmhand, will make his big league debut if he gets into a game with the Rays. Bradley, who made his MLB debut against the Red Sox, will not be able to return to the Majors for at least 10 days unless he's recalled in place of someone who's being placed on the injured list.
