Rays Activate Colin Poche, Place Richard Lovelady on IL

Tampa Bay adjusts bullpen as Poche returns from back injury and Lovelady deals with forearm strain.

Colin Poche returns after recovering from mid-back tightness, last pitching on April 23.
Richard Lovelady placed on 15-day IL due to a left forearm flexor strain.
Poche's early season struggles included a 6.75 ERA and decreased fastball velocity.
Lovelady's recent acquisition from the Cubs saw him post a 7.36 ERA in eight appearances for the Rays.
The Rays' bullpen has been underperforming this season, ranking 20th in ERA among MLB teams.
