Yonny Chirinos - Recalled by TBChirinos was recalled by the Rays on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
ImpactWith Jeffrey Springs (arm) almost certainly headed for the injured list, Chirinos will help fill in the gap in Tampa Bay's rotation. The 29-year-old righty didn't get off to the greatest start in Triple-A, allowing seven earned runs over 7.1 frames across two appearances. Braden Bristo was optioned to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Braden Bristo - Optioned to Triple-ABristo was optioned to Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
ImpactBristo picked up a three-inning save in his major-league debut Thursday versus the Red Sox, not yielding a hit and fanning four along the way. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't going to be available for a few days after throwing 42 pitches, hence the demotion. Bristo put himself in a good spot to earn another look down the line, though.
