After Tuesday, Drew Smyly is set to have just one or two more rehab starts. Desmond Jennings, meanwhile, will have just one more rehab game on Wednesday before traveling with the Tampa Bay Rays to Texas to be activated for Friday’s game. At this point, they better be close to ready, and Tuesday was a step in the right direction for both of them. Smyly had his first rehab start that was less than a disaster outing while Jennings is starting to make things happen at the plate.
Triple-A International League: Norfolk Tides (BAL) 3, Durham Bulls 1
Drew Smyly really labored in his start, needing 94 pitches to get through 4 innings.
