Tampa Bay Rays: Who Should Replace DeJesus on Roster?

With David DeJesus now a member of the Los Angeles Angels, the Tampa Bay Rays have an opening in their outfield. Desmond Jennings is expected to take his spot when he returns in a few weeks, but in the meantime, the Rays need a different player as a placeholder. Their first fill-in was actually catcher Bobby Wilson, but Wilson’s call-up should be an extremely temporary move. The Rays have no need for three catchers, but they called up Wilson so they could pinch-hit for Rene Rivera even though they were playing Curt Casali at DH yesterday.
