MIAMI -- Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters on Wednesday that Chris Archer could make his next start in the Major Leagues.
Archer (left abdominal strain) pitched well for Class A Advanced Charlotte in his first rehab start Tuesday night, allowing no runs, no hits, a walk and seven strikeouts in a four-inning stint.
"Talked to Arch this morning, he had a really, really good outing obviously by his stat line," Cash said. "He felt good, which is a really good sign for us."
Even though Archer is not fully stretched out, Cash said that the Rays are giving heavy consideration to letting the right-hander finish getting stretched out while pitching in the Majors.
