ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays placed Desmond Jennings on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring on Monday, retroactive to July 1. Relief pitcher Tyler Sturdevant was recalled from Triple-A Durham.
Jennings exited the Rays' 10-7 loss on Thursday after rounding first base awkwardly on a double. He was on the bench for precautionary reasons the next two days, and Rays manager Kevin Cash said on Sunday that Jennings was feeling better.
Jennings has batted .202 with seven homers and 19 RBIs in 63 games this season.
