The Tampa Bay Rays have placed Logan Forsythe on the 15-day DL with a hairline fracture in his left shoulder blade. The team corresponded by recalling Danny Farquhar from Triple-A Durham.
Forsythe left Monday night’s game after getting hit on the left shoulder by a Felix Hernandez fastball. The infielder told Roger Mooney (Tampa Bay Times) the best case scenario is that he will miss four weeks from the date of the injury.
One cannot help but wonder if Taylor Motter will be called up at some point in the near future.
In any case, keep checking back as we’ll update this piece as the news becomes available.
Noteworthiness
― Kevin Cash told the media that Farquhar is back to help an overworked bullpen. The team still might call up an infielder, but they needed bullpen help now.
