NEW YORK -- The Rays' rotation will have a somewhat more conventional look once Chris Archer returns from the disabled list to start Monday's game against the Tigers at Tropicana Field.
Archer, who will make his first Major League start since June 2, when he suffered a left abdominal strain, is coming back after just one four-inning rehabilitation start in the Minor Leagues. He'll be limited to about 75 pitches in his first start back, but the Rays decided Friday they'd rather have him make those pitches for them than in another rehab start.
"He's not built up, and he won't have 115 pitches," manager Kevin Cash said.
