Mitch Talbot called up.

The Rays put Percival on the DL, and decide to go with Talbot to take his roster spot. This move is very interesting, as they plan on using him as a reliever, when he has only started in the minors. I believe they are just showcasing him for a trade, but who knows, maybe the Rays get another stud reliever converted from a started like the few there already. (Howell, Wheeler)

In other Ray news, Niemann pitched a hell of a game tonight. 9 IP, 1 ER, 7 H, 12 K, 1 BB. Looks like he was pissed that Talbot got the call and he didnt.
