Rays placed RHP Cole Sulser on the 15-day injured list with lower back spasms.

Sulser has delivered a serviceable 4.86 ERA and 48/14 K/BB ratio across 46 1/3 innings this season, his highest single-season total since 2021. His absence is a hit to Tampa Bay’s low-leverage relief depth. He missed time with a similar back issue earlier this year, so it seems likely the Rays aren’t going to rush him back.
