Prior to their series finale against the Kansas City Royals, the Tampa Bay Rays have activated left-handed pitcher Blake Snell from the 10-day Injured List, and first baseman Ji-Man Choi from the Restricted List.
In the corresponding roster moves, the Rays have optioned infielder Andrew Velazquez and right-handed pitcher Austin Pruitt, to Triple-A Durham. In an unrelated move, Hunter Wood’s paternity leave has been moved to the ‘family medical emergency list.’ Kevin Cash indicates that Wood’s baby is healthy, but was born prematurely.
Snell returns to the active roster after a 10 day stint on the Injured List with a fracture toe, sustained after an incident in the bathroom.
