Ê Recalled from Double-A Montgomery today and will be making his major league debut…is the first Rays callup to bypass Triple-A to make a major league debut since LH Scott Kazmir in 2004…will be the fourth Ray to make his ML debut this year (Austin Pruitt, Daniel Robertson, Chih-Wei Hu).

Ê Has a chance to become the fourth pitcher in Rays history to take the mound before his 22nd birthday, joining Kazmir, Chad Gaudin and Dan Wheeler. Ê Pitched for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic during spring training, going 1-0 with a 9.00 ERA (3-IP, 1-H, 3-ER, 3-BB, 4-SO) in 3 apps. Ê In his spare time, he enjoys hunting iguanas and paca, a large rodent found in Central and South America…he frequently catches 3-foot iguanas

and says they taste like chicken.

Ê Over the last two seasons, has recorded 7 saves of 1.1 IP or more, most in the AL over that span and one shy of NL leader LAD Kenley Jansen. Ê On Sun at TOR, entered with 1-on, 1-out in the 8th…gave up a game-tying double (blown save) and a go-ahead, 2-out single to take the loss. Ê His 2 blown saves (April 23 vs. HOU, Sun at TOR) are one shy of his total from last season…has a 9.00 ERA (4-IP, 4-ER) in his last 4 apps. Ê Pitched for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic during spring training, going 1-0 with a 4.15 ERA (4.1-IP, 2-ER) in 5 apps.

#17 JUMBO DÍAZ, RH Last App: 5/1 at MIA (1.2-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 1-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 0-1 vs. LH: .278 (5-18)2017: 0-1-0, 3.55 ERA, 13 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 2x-last 4/21 vs. HOU IR-RS: 12-4 vs. RH: .148 (4-27)

Ê Has made 5 straight scoreless apps…had a perfect 6th on Mon at MIA (5-3, strikeout, 6-3), his first app of at least 1 IP since April 21 vs. HOU. Ê Has made 14 apps, T-4th in the AL and one more than Colomé/Díaz for the team lead…has held left-handed hitters to a .158 avg. (3-for-19) this

season and none of those 3 hits have left the infield (Andrew Benintendi swinging bunt, Brian McCann bunt single, Chris Davis infield single). Ê Issued a bases-loaded walk to Seth Smith on April 26 at BAL, his only batter faced, the ninth walk-off walk in franchise history (last Aug 5, 2015 at

CWS)…it was the third walk-off walk on 4 pitches in club history, following May 9, 2000 at NYY (Jim Morris) and Aug 12, 2014 at TEX (Cesar Ramos). Ê Has yielded 18 HR since the start of the 2015 season, T-3rd among AL relievers…yielded a solo homer to Josh Donaldson on April 7 vs. TOR.

#50 AUSTIN PRUITT, RH Last App: 4/28 at TOR (W, 3.0-IP, 3-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 1-SO, 1-HR) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .333 (10-30)2017: 3-0-0, 5.71 ERA, 10 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 3.1, 4/19 vs. DET IR-RS: 3-1 vs. RH: .319 (15-47), 2-HR

Ê His scoreless streak snapped at 9.2 IP on Fri at TOR but got the win, his third straight relief app ending with a win…only two others in franchise his-tory have won 3 consecutive relief apps (excludes starts in between): Alex Colomé (Sep 29, 2015–April 5, 2016) and J.P. Howell (May 8-13, 2008).

Ê Was the first AL rookie with 3 wins in April since Masahiro Tanaka in 2014…was the third Rays rookie with 3 wins in April (last RH Lance Carter in 2003). Ê Over his last 4 apps (1 start), he is 3-0 and has totaled 5 H, 1 BB and 11 SO in 11.2 IP for a .125 opp avg. …had a .541 opp avg. in his first 6 apps. Ê His first scoreless app of the season snapped a streak of allowing runs in 6 straight apps, most by a reliever to start their career in club history…was

the longest such streak in the majors since SD/PIT Marty McLeary in 2004-06 (6).

#30 ERASMO RAMIREZ, RH Last App: 5/2 at MIA (1.0-IP, 2-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .120 (3-25), 1-HR2017: 2-0-0, 2.75 ERA, 8 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 4.0, 2x-last 4/26 at BAL IR-RS: 3-1 vs. RH: .227 (10-44), 2-HR

Ê Has allowed 16 HR out of the bullpen since the start of last season—tied for most among AL relievers over that span and one shy of the NL co-leaders. Ê In 2016, made a team-leading 64 apps (1 start) in his first full season as a reliever…his 85 IP as a reliever led the AL and was 2nd in the majors. Ê Has won both of his decisions this season to snap a career-long-tying 7-game losing streak…last season, his 11 losses as a reliever were the most

in the majors since LAA Scot Shields (11) in 2005 and set a club record, passing Brad Boxberger (10) in 2015.

47 CHASE WHITLEY, RH Last App: 5/2 at MIA (1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 1-1 vs. LH: .059 (1-17)2017: 1-0-1, 0.00 ERA, 7 G Long Relief App: 3.0, 2x-last 4/25 at BAL IR-RS: 3-0 vs. RH: .100 (2-20)

CLE Andrew Miller, CHC Carl Edwards Jr. and CWS Anthony Swarzak…opponents are batting .081/.171/.108 (3-for-37) against him this season.
