The 29-year-old right-hander pitched two innings in his first outing on Friday, allowing a pair of hits while striking out two. Faedo has been sidelined since the end of spring training due to inflammation in his right shoulder. He’s probably going to require a lengthy rehab assignment before he’s ready to help out the Rays at the major league level.

Nothing has changed in the prognosis for the 29-year-old right-hander who is currently working his way back from right shoulder inflammation, this was merely done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for Chandler Simpson’s arrival on Friday.

Faedo gave up six runs and had a 1/5 K/BB in 3 2/3 innings this spring before being shut down. He’ll probably get a look once healthy, but it’s possible he’ll be DFA’d if the Rays determine their pen is fine without him.

Faedo was acquired from Detroit in February, but the 25-year-old will need to wait until at least the middle of April to make his debut with the Rays. Once healthy, he’ll be a multi-inning option for the Tampa Bay bullpen.
