Tampa Bay wants an extra position player on the roster and will recall one prior to Tuesday's game in Washington. Don't expect Evan Longoria or Jeff Keppinger, both rehabbing in the minor leagues, to be ready by that point. Gomes posted a cool 2.92 ERA and 32/16 K/BB ratio in 37 innings last season as a rookie member of the Tampa Bay bullpen, but he has been ineffective in short spurts this season in the bigs. He'll remain on the Durham-to-Tampa Bay-and-back shuttle all season long. |
