LAKELAND, Fla. — Josh Fleming will not make his scheduled final spring training start Monday. Nothing is wrong with the left-hander. In fact, it’s great news for him.
With a spot open because of Tyler Glasnow’s oblique injury, Fleming won the competition to take his place in the rotation.
The Rays optioned Yonny Chirinos to Triple-A Durham before Sunday afternoon’s game against the Tigers at Joker Marchant Stadium. They had also looked at Luis Patino for this spot, but optioned him Saturday.
