ANAHEIM -- The Rays designated right-hander Ernesto Frieri following Monday night's 7-3 loss to the Angels. They will recall outfielder Mikie Mahtook prior to Tuesday night's game against the Angels.
"Unfortunately, we had to designate Ernesto Frieri tonight," manager Kevin Cash said. "We're going to recall Mikie Mahtook, with the lefties coming in and kind of the way our bullpen is."
Frieri pitched an inning Monday night, allowing no runs on a hit and a walk. He is 1-0 with a 4.63 ERA and two saves in 22 games this season.
"Ernie did a nice job for us," Cash said.
