Snell will be recalled to start Saturday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Erasmo Ramirez was needed in relief Thursday, creating an opening for Saturday, and it will be the prospect Snell who draws the assignment. Snell hasn't been especially efficient in three starts with Triple-A Durham this season, failing to go more than five innings in any outing, but he does have a 21:7 K:BB, and the lefty was virtually unhittable for stretches last season. If he performs well, Snell could stick in the No. 5 spot, keeping Ramirez in the bullpen.
