Rays manager Kevin Cash said Sunday that Drew Smyly will be stretched out to 100 pitches, leaving Smyly in line to make three more rehab starts before potentially returning in late April, the Tampa Tribune reports.
"I would say we're leaning towards building him all the way up," Cash said Sunday, per MLB.com. "Simply because, part of the reason he had maybe a setback was because he wasn't able to get totally built up in the offseason. Nothing's defined. He feels great, which is a good thing. But we want to make sure we do it right."
Smyly pitched two innings Thursday in his first rehab start as he works his way back from a shoulder injury. He's slated to pitch again Tuesday.
