Rays pitcher Alex Colome said Monday that he's ready to return to the team's rotation this weekend in Baltimore, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
"The only thing I know is I'm pitching in the Baltimore series, but I don't know what day exactly," Colome said, per MLB.com.
Colome began the season on the disabled list due to pneumonia. He made his second rehab start Sunday, throwing 63 pitches, and will likely slot into the rotation Friday or Saturday. He's made six starts and two relief appearances in his career, going 3-1 with a 2.50 ERA and 25:19 K:BB ratio in 39 2/3 innings.
"[Colome] threw the ball really well, from everything I heard and the people I talked with," manager Kevin Cash said. "Was very efficient... Very good fastball command and worked in his breaking ball and changeups. Everybody was very pleased with the way he performed."
