Rays' Smyly makes another rehab start, eyeing return in 2015

Published Aug. 13, 2015 12:55 a.m. ET

Tampa Bay Rays lefty Drew Smyly has missed 86 games since being placed on the disabled list in May, but seems to be turning a corner in his rehab.

“(Tuesday) was probably my first game that I really wasn’t thinking about my injury,” Smyly told the Tampa Tribune. “I was thinking about trying to just get guys out. That’s a good sign.”

Smyly threw 90 pitches in a rehab start Tuesday for Durham.

The Rays traded David Price last season, netting Drew Smyly from the Detroit Tigers as the centerpiece of a multi-player trade. They imagined him slotting near the top of the rotation for many years to come.

Smyly landed on the DL because of a shoulder issue, but was 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings to start the season.
