Danny Jansen - Playing simulated game Wednesday Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Jansen (rib) will play 5-to-6 innings in a simulated game Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact If he gets through the workout without any lingering issues with his pulled rib muscle, Jansen will be active for the Rays for Friday's opener. Kenny Piper has joined the club as a contingency and would be added to the roster in the event Jansen isn't ready.

Kameron Misner - Receives call-up The Rays recalled Misner from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.
Impact Misner had been on track to begin the season in the minors after being optioned to Triple-A last Wednesday, but a spot on the Rays' Opening Day roster opened up for him after Richie Palacios suffered a fractured ring finger that will send him to the injured list. With Christopher Morel, Jonny DeLuca and Josh Lowe seemingly locked in as the Rays' preferred starting outfield trio against right-handed pitching, the lefty-hitting Misner likely won't be in line for many at-bats to begin the season.

Hunter Bigge - Summoned to majors The Rays recalled Bigge from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact Bigge was optioned to Triple-A last week, but a spot on the Opening Day roster opened back up for him after the Rays placed Shane McClanahan (tricep) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. McClanahan's injury clears room in the rotation for Drew Rasmussen, while Bigge will fill the final opening in the Tampa Bay bullpen. Bigge impressed in his first taste of the big leagues in 2024 with a 2.60 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB across 17.1 innings between stops with the Cubs and Rays, but he may have to settle for low-leverage relief work to begin the upcoming season.

Richie Palacios - Heads to IL with finger fracture The Rays placed Palacios (finger) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact Palacios had been on track to begin the season in a utility role with the Rays, but his bid for the Opening Day roster ended late last week, when he was diagnosed with a small fracture in his right ring finger. His IL placement is retroactive to Monday, so Palacios will be eligible for activation ahead of the Rays' third series of the season, which begins April 4 in Texas. Tampa Bay recalled Kameron Misner from Triple-A Durham to provide some extra coverage in the outfield while Palacios is on the shelf.

Shane McClanahan - Lands on IL The Rays placed McClanahan (tricep) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact McClanahan is without an official timeline to make his season debut while he recovers from a nerve-related tricep injury, but since he's yet to resume a throwing program, he's expected to miss beyond the minimum 15 days. The southpaw's injury clears the way for both Zack Littell and Drew Rasmussen to hold down spots at the back end of the rotation to begin the season.

Carson Williams - Assigned to Triple-A Williams will begin the season at Triple-A Durham, MLB.com reports.
Impact Williams, 21, slashed .256/.353/.469 with 20 home runs and 33 stolen bases at Double-A Montgomery in 2024 and will move up to Durham to start this season. The shortstop has a chance to debut in 2025 if things go well in the International League.

Yoniel Curet - Opens season on Double-A IL Double-A Montgomery placed Curet on its 60-day injured list Saturday due to an unspecified injury.
Impact Curet is heading into his second season as a member of the Rays' 40-man roster, but he's still a long way off from reaching the majors. He's made just five starts above the High-A level, and he looks to be in line to miss at least a couple months away from making his 2025 debut after he apparently got injured during spring training. The 22-year-old righty found immediate success with Montgomery last season following his promotion from High-A Bowling Green, turning in a 1.75 ERA while striking out 37 batters over 25.2 innings.
