Tampa Bay Rays place RHP Chris Archer on IL with hip discomfort

The Tampa Bay Rays have placed pitcher Chris Archer on the 10-day injured list with hip discomfort.

Archer left an Aug. 22 start in the second inning because of left hip tightness, but has made three starts since.

The 32-year-old righty missed over three months this season after leaving an April start with right lateral forearm tightness. His abbreviated Aug. 22 start was his first appearance since April.

Archer is 1-1 in six appearances in his first season back with Tampa Bay after being traded by the team to Pittsburgh in 2018.
