Fleming was recalled from the Rays' taxi squad Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays do not have an official starter listed yet for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader in Toronto, but Yonny Chirinos, who is up as the 29th man, could start and Fleming would be a logical option to piggyback. Fleming has a 6.55 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB in 11 innings over his last five appearances at Triple-A.

Fleming (oblique) was activated from the 15-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old made two rehab appearances with Durham and will remain with the affiliate now that he's been fully cleared of the oblique strain. Fleming has a 6.84 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB across 26.1 innings for Tampa Bay this year and could be a rotation option down the stretch.

Fleming (oblique) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, according to MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Fleming has been sidelined since July 12 and was projected to miss up to a month. He threw 31 pitches across two innings as a reliever with Durham on Tuesday, so he could beat his original timeline if the Rays intend to utilize him as a reliever across the final month of the season.

Fleming said Wednesday that he's dealing with low-to-medium-grade oblique strain and could be about a month away from returning to game action, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fleming said he expects to rest up for the next 2-to-3 weeks before starting a throwing progression, which will likely add at least another two weeks to his total time on the 15-day injured list. The 26-year-old southpaw had been working as a bulk reliever for the Rays when he suffered the injury Monday, but Tampa Bay may not have a spot available for him in the big-league rotation once he's healthy. Both Luis Patino (oblique) and Jeffrey Springs (lower leg) are likely to beat Fleming back from the IL.

The Rays placed Fleming (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The oblique injury which shortened Fleming's relief outing Monday against Boston will sideline him through the All-Star break. Even once healthy, the lefty may not pitch many innings for the Rays in their wild-card chase if he doesn't improve upon his 6.84 ERA and 1.97 WHIP.

Fleming left Monday's game against the Red Sox with right oblique tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fleming will undergo further testing Tuesday to determine the severity of the issue. However, manager Kevin Cash stated that Fleming is likely headed to the 10-day injured list, per Topkin.

Fleming is expected to work as the Rays' primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind opener Matt Wisler in Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he won't be awarded the starting nod, Fleming will essentially be taking Jeffrey Springs' spot in the rotation after Springs was moved to the 15-day injured list Sunday with lower right leg tightness. Over 23.1 innings with the big club this season, Fleming has posted a 6.17 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB.

Fleming was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was demoted after giving up four runs (three earned) over five innings July 4 against the Red Sox, but he'll rejoin the big-league roster with Jeffrey Springs (lower leg) placed on the 15-day injured list. The Rays haven't officially announced their updated pitching plans as a result of Springs' movement to the IL, but Fleming appears set to start or serve as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen Monday versus the Red Sox.

The Rays optioned Fleming to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fleming will return to Triple-A after he served as the primary pitcher behind opener Jalen Beeks in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Red Sox. The lefty was handed the loss after he surrendered all four runs (three earned) on eight hits while striking out four over five innings. Jeffrey Springs (personal) was activated from the family medical emergency list ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday in a corresponding move.

Fleming (2-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits over five innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Fleming took the mound after two shutout frames from Jalen Beeks. Trevor Story broke the scoreless tie with his solo shot in the fourth inning. Fleming then gave up another run in the fifth and two more in the eighth. Despite posting a 2.36 ERA through 45.2 frames with Triple-A Durham this season, the 26-year-old owns a 6.17 ERA at the MLB level. Fleming will likely head back to the minors.
