Rays manager Kevin Cash said Monday that Bigge (lat/face) will not return this season but is slated to pitch in winter ball, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Bigge initially went on the 15-day injured list back in early May with a right lat strain, but he then suffered multiple facial fractures in late June when he was struck by a ball in the dugout, an incident which eventually led to him being transferred to the 60-day IL. The righty has resumed mound work and will pitch in winter ball to make up for lost time.

Bigge (lat) will throw a bullpen session Sept. 9, MLB.com reports. Bigge is recovering from both a lat injury and facial fractures that he suffered in mid-June. He began playing catch in mid-August, so it's unclear if he'll be able to ramp up in time to return in 2025.

The Rays announced Tuesday that Bigge (lat/face) has resumed playing catch, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Initially placed on the injured list May 6 due to a right lat strain, Bigge's recovery program from that injury was stalled when he was hit in the face by a foul ball while he was in the dugout during a June 19 game against the Orioles. He sustained multiple facial fractures and required surgery, but he feels fully healed from that injury and has now turned his focus back to rehabbing his strained lat. As a reliever, Bigge won't require the extended build-up that a starter would coming off a lat injury, but since he hasn't yet resumed mound work, he's likely at least a couple weeks away from returning from the 60-day injured list.

Bigge (face/lat) said Monday that he feels back to normal and is hopeful to pitch again this season, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports. Initially placed on the injured list back on May 6 due to a right lat strain, Bigge's return date was pushed back further June 19, when he was hit in the face by a foul ball while watching a game from the dugout. Bigge required surgery to address multiple facial fractures, but he appears to have made good progress in his recovery, noting Monday that he's since resumed eating solid foods. Bigge will look to regain strength before starting up a throwing program and gearing up for an eventual return from the 60-day IL.

The Rays transferred Bigge (lat/face) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports. The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Joey Gerber. Bigge originally went on the IL back in early May due to a right lat strain and then suffered an unrelated setback when he was struck in the face by a line drive while sitting in the dugout. He has resumed activities but is still a ways off from a return.
