ST. PETERSBURG -- Jake Odorizzi told reporters on Saturday that he was "back to normal."
The right-hander, who has been on the disabled list with a lower-back strain since July 26 (retroactive to July 25), started on Friday night for Class A Advanced Charlotte and allowed two runs on three hits with no walks and six strikeouts over three innings against Dunedin.
"I'm ready to go," Odorizzi said. "I will be back in there next time my spot comes up, so no more rehab starts. I'm happy."
Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Odorizzi will start the second game of the upcoming Red Sox series on Wednesday at Tropicana Field.
