Bemboom won't need surgery on his sprained knee but will nevertheless miss 4-to-6 weeks, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom appeared in just three games before heading to the injured list. He was only on the roster due to injuries to Mike Zunino (quadriceps) and Michael Perez (oblique), so he may not have a job to come back to once healthy.

Bemboom (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Bemboom was sent to the IL after spraining his left knee during Wednesday's win over the Marlins. Nick Ciuffo is expected to be summoned from Triple-A Durham ahead of Friday's series opener against the Yankees to platoon alongside Travis d'Arnaud behind the dish for the time being.

Updating a previous report, manager Kevin Cash remarked after Wednesday's game that Bemboom's knee injury is a sprain and that the catcher will be placed on the injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The young backstop exited Wednesday's win over the Marlins with what was described as left knee soreness, but the issue is apparently serious enough to warrant time on the shelf for Bemboom. Topkin also reports that the injury originally occurred when Bemboom blocked a pitch at some point during the game. Nick Ciuffo, who was just sent to Triple-A Durham last Saturday, is expected to be called back up to platoon alongside Travis d'Arnaud behind the dish.

Bemboom was removed from Wednesday's game against the Marlins with right knee soreness, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bemboom made his second start behind the plate since being called up last week but was unable to finish the contest. The 29-year-old is expected to be evaluated further after the game. The Rays can ill afford another injury at catcher with Mike Zunino (quad) and Michael Perez (oblique) already on the injured list.

Bemboom was called up by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old has yet to make his big-league debut. He's been a career .235/.309/.349 hitter over eight minor-league seasons. With Mike Zunino (quad) and Michael Perez (oblique) both on the injured list, Bemboom is expected to back up Nick Ciuffo.
