As anticipated, the Rays are skipping Drew Smyly's fourth rehabilitation start and slotting him into the rotation, starting this Friday.
After a weekend sweep at the hand of the Yankees and in the midst of an AL East showdown, the Rays are in sore need of their players currently on the Disabled List - starters Drew Smyly and Alex Cobb chief among them.
#Rays Smyly says he is "definitely" ready to go. So Friday seems even more likely - tho not official.
