Smyly nearing return; Jennings could follow
Smyly's six strikeouts 0:58 5/5/15: Drew Smyly strikes out six batters in as many innings, limiting the Red Sox to one run and two hits ST. PETERSBURG -- After tossing 94 pitches over four innings with Triple-A Durham in his fourth rehab start, Drew Smyly (torn left labrum) will join the Rays on their road trip through the state of Texas.
Smyly will throw a bullpen Friday in Arlington and the club will make a decision afterward on whether the left-hander is ready to return to the rotation.
"I feel good," Smyly said. "With every rehab start I feel stronger and stronger. I continue to be extremely encouraged by my days in between starts. ... I feel ready to go."
