TORONTO—A couple of tidbits from the minor-league side of things:
Jae Kuk Ryu has been placed on Durham’s 7-day disabled list with soreness in his elbow that apparently isn’t too serious. Nonetheless, the Rays signed 31-year-old former Yankees reliever Colter Bean to fill out Durham’s pitching staff. Bean, a giant sidearmer, most recently made a couple of starts for Tabasco of the Mexican League in April.
For some background, here’s a piece from the New York Times that ran last spring training.
In the meantime, Evan Meek has cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Pirates on Sunday. That means the Pirates are left to work out a deal with the Rays that will allow them to keep Meek and send the Rule 5 pick to the minors.
“We’re certainly working on getting something done,” Pirates GM Neal Huntington told MLB.com.
One more thing I forgot to mention earlier: Ben Zobrist is scheduled to DH for Vero Beach tonight at Lakeland. He’ll stay there and play in the field the next three day for the V-Rays.
