Will Rhymes returned to action on Saturday May 19.

Will Rhymes (arm) returned to the Rays' lineup Saturday. He was available off the bench Friday, but will get the start against the right-handed Randall Delgado. Rhymes, of course, passed out on the field Wednesday after being hit by a pitch in the right arm, but X-rays ruled out any fracture. He's likely close to, if not 100 percent.

Will Rhymes will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday night against the Mariners. Evan Longoria is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with a partial tear of his left hamstring, so Rays manager Joe Maddon will use a mix-and-match approach at third base. Rhymes, Elliot Johnson, Sean Rodriguez and Jeff Keppinger all figure to draw starts. It's a situation to avoid for fantasy owners.

Rays purchased the contract of INF Will Rhymes from Triple-A Durham. Rhymes will function as infield depth for Tampa Bay while Evan Longoria recovers from his torn left hamstring.

Rays reassigned INF Will Rhymes to minor league camp. Rhymes appeared in 29 games with Detroit last season and was competing for a utility role with the Rays this spring. He'll continue to serve as organizational depth in the minors.

Rays signed INF Will Rhymes to a minor league contract. We're assuming the deal includes a spring training invite. Rhymes, who turns 29 in April, was non-tendered by the Tigers in December after batting just .235/.323/.271 with three doubles and a .594 OPS over 99 plate appearances with the big club last season. He has some speed and good plate discipline, so the Rays could have some use for him.

The Tigers have non-tendered Willy Rhymes. Rhymes, 28, batted just .235/.323/.271 with three extra-base hits in 99 plate appearances this year for Detroit. He's now a free agent and can sign with any team.

Tigers recalled 2B Will Rhymes from Triple-A Toledo. Rhymes opened the year as the Tigers' starting second baseman, but is batting just .221/.321/.235 with a .556 OPS over 81 plate appearances in the big leagues this season. He'll provide some depth at second base down the stretch, but is unlikely to see significant playing time.

Tigers optioned 2B Will Rhymes to Triple-A Toledo. Rhymes was recalled Sunday to provide infield depth in the wake of Carlos Guillen's wrist injury, then cleared out Monday to clear a roster spot for new outfielder Delmon Young. Rhymes is batting just .221/.321/.235 in the major leagues this season.

Tigers recalled 2B Will Rhymes from Triple-A Toledo. Rhymes batted just .221/.321/.235 earlier this season, but he handle pick it at second base and will get plenty of starts there while Carlos Guillen is on the shelf. He's not much of a fantasy option, however.
