Rays Place Right-Hander Griffin Jax on Injured List with Elbow Discomfort
Griffin Jax’s elbow injury is not believed to be ligament-related, and manager Kevin Cash said the pitcher is already showing improvement.
- On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Rays placed 31-year-old pitcher Griffin Jax on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort, retroactive to Thursday. RHP Michael Grove was recalled from Triple-A Durham to replace him.
- Jax was removed from the roster after being scratched from his scheduled start against the Seattle Mariners. Rays manager Kevin Cash noted on Saturday that initial tests indicated the injury was not ligament-related and showed early improvement.
- The right-hander has appeared in 29 games this season, recording a 6-9 record with a 3.63 ERA. Over his six-season career with the Minnesota Twins and the Rays, Jax holds a 3.95 ERA across 328 appearances.
- Replacing Jax, Grove returns to the majors after making two appearances for the Rays earlier this season. During that brief stint, the 29-year-old pitcher posted a 1-0 record with a 3.60 ERA.
- Cash indicated that Jax is scheduled to see a doctor on Monday to evaluate his elbow. The team expects a clearer timeline regarding his return status by Wednesday or Thursday following the consultation.
