MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays recalled right-hander Joe Boyle from Triple-A Durham on Sunday before the finale of their three-game series against Minnesota.
The 25-year-old Boyle, acquired in a trade with the Athletics during the offseason, is 6-4 with a 1.85 ERA in 73 innings with 96 strikeouts with Durham. He made an early season start for Tampa Bay and worked five no-hit innings in an 8-3 win over Atlanta on April 13. He walked two, allowed two earned runs and struck out seven.
He is 6-6 with a 4.85 ERA in 17 career MLB games with 78 strikeouts in 68 2/3 innings.
In another move, the Rays optioned left-hander Joe Rock to Durham. The 24 -year-old made his MLB debut on June 28 against Baltimore and struck out four in two innings of relief.
