Tampa Bay Rays Fill Lefty Reliever Void With Xavier Cedeno
The Tampa Bay Rays’ lefty reliever struggles this season have reached an incredible extent. First Jake McGee went down following (relatively) minor elbow surgery, then the Rays lost Jeff Beliveau and C.J. Riefenhauser early in the season to shoulder injuries. Beliveau even required surgery that will sideline him for over a year. The Rays needed some other lefty option, and while they had one guy at Triple-A in Jordan Norberto, he is coming off Tommy John Surgery and it is unclear what he can give them. With that in mind, the Rays deemed it necessary to make a move.
