Rays Call Up Top Prospect Wil Myers

Ron Vesely/MLB Photos via Getty Images(ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.) -- Outfielder Wil Myers is headed to the big leagues.

Myers, last year's Minor League Player of the Year, was called up by the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday.

"It's something that we've been deliberating for a while, and his recent hot streak certainly accelerated the conversations," said Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. "As we've talked about since Spring Training, when we felt like he was ready, it would be important to auger out a spot for him. Over the last week, we spent a lot more time thinking about it, talking about it, and we felt like injecting one more bat against right-handed pitching that we felt like had a chance to do some damage was something that we wanted to do. We think he'll fit right in with our group and be one of nine in our offensive unit to score runs."

Myers was acquired in a seven-player trade with the Kansas City Royals this past offseason, in which the Rays sent pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis to the Royals.

In 64 games for Triple-A Durham this season, the 22-year-old Myers has hit .284 with 14 home runs and 57 RBIs.

To make room for Myers, the Rays optioned infielder Ryan Roberts to Durham.

Myers will join the team in Boston on Tuesday.

Tampa Bay Rays Pitcher Alex Cobb Hit By Line Drive

Robbie Rogers/MLB Photos via Getty Images(ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.) -- Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Alex Cobb was carted off the field on a stretcher during Saturday’s game against Kansas City, after he was hit on the right ear by a line drive off the bat of Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer.

The 25-year-old Cobb was attended to immediately by trainers from both teams as well as medical personnel. According to the Rays, Cobb remained conscious during the incident. He was taking to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, where he was diagnosed with a mild concussion.

“Can't thank everyone enough for the prayers,” Cobb tweeted Saturday night. “Was the only way for me to make it out of there ok. Look forward to getting back out there.”

Red Sox Outlast Rays 10-8 in 14 Innings

Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images(ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.) --  The Boston Red Sox just keep finding ways to win.

Daniel Nava hit a go-ahead RBI single in the top of the 14th inning and the Red Sox held off the Tampa Bay Rays with a 10-8 victory Monday night at Tropicana Field.

The game lasted five hours as the Red Sox jumped out to leads of 6-0 and 8-6, but weren't able to hang on.  The Rays came back to tie the game twice before eventually falling in the 14th inning.

“Six runs, then two hits and eight shutout innings later, we tack a couple more on, then the seesaw battle began,’’ Sox manager John Farrell said. “Thankfully, it ended with a win, but you can’t say enough about the way our guys continued to grind away through a very long night.’’

Franklin Morales (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the win.  Cesar Ramos took the loss for Tampa Bay.
