Well, the Rays just acquired Adrian Houser from the White Sox so they'll have to send a pitcher down to make room. Hopefully this isn't a 1 day visit. And scratch what I said about Boyle replacing Littell...it'll be Houser.

Joe finishes the final 3 innings and does fantastic - 3 IP, 2 H, 5 K, 0 BB

Retired 3 former MVPs (2 K's) - Goldschmidt, Bellinger, Stanton.

Excellent news! Thanks for the report.

3 scoreless / walkless outings since returning to Durham. I actually am glad to see them lean into the reliever role for him. As a primarily Sinker/Slider pitcher, the bullpen is probably where he can find long term success in the bigs.

Sent back down to Durham today.

Has made 3 appearances in relief for the Rays. Has a 2.35 ERA and in 7 2/3 IP he has struck out 11 and given up 7 hits. A nice showing for Joe.

2 of those appearances were in his last stint. This time was just one outing, Wednesday against the White Sox. 2 2/3 IP, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 H, 0 R.

I am really surprised he was sent back down especially with the expanded September roster.

Joe had a solid spring training with the Rays, 5 games all 1 inning each, just 1 run despite 6 walks. 3 hits and 9 K's. However, he did not make the club and has been back at AAA Durham.

Not a great start to the season, getting shelled for 4 runs on opening day. Not sure if there was an injury but he went 2 full weeks between his 3rd and 4th appearances. ERA is at 13.50 and has 7 walks in just 3.1 innings.

He is now 25. Definitely seems like he is done as a starter and is just a matter of getting it done in relief enough at Durham to be considered when the Rays need an arm.

Joe was actually called up to the Rays on April 10th and sent back to Durham on April 12th. He did not make an appearance for Tampa.
