Drake missed all of 2021 with a flexor strain. It's not clear what his health status currently is, but he can be a useful arm when able to take the mound.

Drake will spend some time at Triple-A Durham before rejoining the Rays bullpen at some point in early August.

Cash also added that both relievers are still "a ways away" before any potential return. Drake has been out since last postseason due to a right flexor strain, while Roe has been sidelined since early April due to a right shoulder strain. Barring any setbacks, they should be able to return to the Rays' bullpen at some point this summer.

The move officially rules him out through late May. Drake, who just recently re-signed with the Rays, suffered a flexor strain during the postseason last year and is still making his way back.
