Tampa Bay Rays Place Outfielder Jake Fraley on Injured List with Hernia

Tampa Bay has added outfielder Jake Fraley to the 10-day injured list on Sunday after he was diagnosed with a hernia.

The roster move was made effective Saturday, the same day Fraley was pulled from the starting lineup before Tampa Bay faced Miami. His last appearance came Friday night in the series opener versus the Marlins in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he failed to record a hit in three at-bats.

The 30-year-old Fraley has struggled offensively in his debut campaign with Tampa Bay, posting a .232 batting average along with two home runs and five RBIs across 28 appearances.

In a corresponding roster move Sunday, Tampa Bay promoted infielder Carson Williams from their Triple-A Durham affiliate.

The 22-year-old Williams has compiled a .238 batting average with five home runs and 21 RBIs through 32 games at the Triple-A level this year.

Williams previously spent time with the major league club earlier this season, appearing in seven contests where he managed just three hits in 23 at-bats for a .130 average, though he did drive in three runs.
