Ryan Pepiot Transferred to 60-Day IL Following Hip Injection

Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot suffered a setback in his recovery and has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. Pepiot recently received an injection in his hip, a procedure that is expected to push back his return to the major league mound by at least another six weeks. The move allows Tampa Bay to free up a spot on the 40-man roster while their young starter focuses on rehabilitation following this latest hurdle in his return process from the hip injury.
