Whitley was called up by the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports

EDGE Analysis

Whitley logged 27.2 innings for Double-A Montgomery this year, but has pitched at several levels while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He didn't finish his minor league season on a high note, giving up eight runs Sunday, owns a 2.93 ERA overall at the Double-A level. Whitley logged nearly 100 frames for the Yankees between 2014 and 2015, so the experience could be an asset down the stretch.
