Wade Davis was put on the 15-day disabled Phillies Cole Hamels Jersey list with a right forearm strain on Thursday, and right-hander Brandon Gomes was recalled from Triple-A Durham.
Rays manager Joe Authentic Ryan Howard Jersey Maddon said Davis' problem Phillies Roy Halladay Jersey dates back to Authentic Roy Halladay Jersey his last two or three starts, and it prevented him from throwing his slider.
"Did the MRI stuff, Ryan Howard Jersey nothing serious," Maddon said. "We feel pretty Authentic Carl Crawford Jersey good about it, actually, but there is a strain there of some sort. So Red Sox Adrian Gonzalez Jersey we thought it was best to DL him right now."
Davis, 25, is 7-6 with a 4.25 ERA, and started Wednesday Red Sox Carl Crawford Jersey at Minnesota, allowing three earned runs in five Adrian Gonzalez Jersey innings pitched. He is 3-1 with a 3.19 ERA in his last five starts.
With the All-Star break coming, Maddon speculated that Davis would miss two starts, at the most. He also said Alex Cobb was a pretty good candidate to fill the void, since the right-hander has done well in limited duty for the Rays this season.
"I don't think it's going Carl Crawford Jersey to be prolonged," Maddon said of Davis' injury. "I think it's going to be a minimal thing, regarding time. But Authentic Cole Hamels Jersey we thought this was the right thing to do right now."
Gomes, 26, started the season at Durham, and was recalled by the Rays on May 3, appearing in 10 games and posting a 3.09 ERA before being optioned back Authentic Adrian Gonzalez Jersey to Triple-A on May 30. Since returning to Durham, he has posted a 0.75 ERA, with 18 strikeouts in 12 innings pitched over nine appearances.
Gomes has been "throwing really well," Maddon said. "When he was up here last time, I thought Cole Hamels Jersey he did a really good job."
Gomes received a wake-up call from Charlie Montoyo at approximately 9 Cliff Lee Jersey a.m. ET Thursday, and the Durham manager informed him he had a noon flight to New York Red Sox Carlton Fisk Jersey to join the team for Thursday night's game.
"I've worked on some of the things we talked about up here before I left," Gomes said. "I had a lot of confidence going back down. I was fairly happy with the way I threw up here. ... I was ready to improve on what Phillies Ryan Howard Jersey I did Roy Halladay Jersey up here and hopefully get back up here at some point."
