Englert is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Ian Seymour during Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The Rays recalled Englert from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, and he proceeded to work in long relief of starter Nick Martinez later that day in a 7-2 loss to the Tigers, covering five innings and striking out three while allowing one earned run on four hits and no walks. Though Englert will continue to work out of the bullpen Monday, he looks as though he'll be taking over the rotation spot of the struglging Steven Matz, who was recently shifted to a relief role.
