ST. PETERSBURG -- After more than a week of deliberation, Rays starting pitcher Drew Smyly has decided not to end his 2015 season. Smyly announced Thursday that he will not undergo surgery on the torn labrum in his left shoulder, electing to instead rehab the injury.
"After talking with a few of the doctors that I've met with, we've decided to rehab [the shoulder]," Smyly said. "Everyone seems very optimistic that is the route to take. It's not choosing that over surgery. They act like surgery is not even really an option right now, so that is the route I'm taking.
