It has been a consistent inconsistent season thus far for Jake Odorizzi and prior to Wednesday’s afternoon contest against the Orioles, the Tampa Bay Rays announced that they had placed the struggling right-hander on the 10-day DL with a lower-back strain.
The Rays have recalled Andrew Kittredge from Durham to take his spot on the roster, but it is undetermined who will make the start on Friday in Odorizzi’s place against the New York Yankees. More than likely Odorizzi will miss two starts, his scheduled start against the Yankees on Friday and next week against the Houston Astros.
