The Tampa Bay Rays have recalled OF Jason Bourgeois from Triple-A Durham. Bourgeoise will fill in for the injured Desmond Jennings.
Jennings fractured a finger on his left hand while sliding into second Saturday night in a successful stolen base attempt against the Giants. He’s been added to the 15-day DL.
Bourgeois has posted a .291 BA/.336 OBP/.371 SLG/.707 OPS/48 R/57 RBI slash line in Triple-A Durham, tallying 95 total hits including 14 doubles and three triples. He’s also swiped 21 bags with the Bulls.
Bourgeois brings experience in the NL West (mind you, the Rays will be playing the D’Backs and Dodgers on their upcoming road trip) after spending time previously in Houston.
