ATLANTA -- Once Saturday rolls around, Major League teams can expand their rosters by calling up Minor Leaguers.
The Rays' roster is already swelling with young players who might otherwise have been a "September callup." Still, there are others who will likely make their way to Tampa Bay this weekend.
"Every September when the roster expands, you have interesting opportunities," said Chaim Bloom, Rays general manager. "You're able to give [manager Kevin Cash] and his staff a roster they can do a little more with. And you also are able to carve out some opportunity for guys that you might not have been able to when you're limited to only 25 [players].
