Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot was placed on the injured list (IL) after sustaining a leg bruise from a 107.5 mph line drive during a game. Pepiot, who had a promising start to the season, mentioned that not being compared to former Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow, now with the Dodgers, was beneficial for his performance. In response to Pepiot's injury, Taj Bradley is expected to join the Rays' rotation for the upcoming weekend series against the Yankees.
