Head fired two scoreless innings in a loss to the Athletics on Monday, allowing a hit and a walk while recording a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old right-hander got the call out of the bullpen for the second time in as many days and was up to the task again after firing a scoreless frame versus the Blue Jays on Sunday. Head enjoyed a mostly successful and extensive minor-league career as a workhorse reliever, and he appears set to fill a similar role for the Rays while he's on the big-league roster.

Head had his contract selected by Tampa Bay on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head is poised for his major-league debut after opening the season at the alternate training site. The 31-year-old posted a 6.34 ERA over 32.2 innings during 2019 in the minors and is likely to fill a low-leverage role with the Rays.
