Rays starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson is expected to be out until at least mid-May after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow last week, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The paper suggests the Rays could sign a free agent or trade for a starting pitcher, but they do have in-house options to replace Hellickson.
Marc Topkin of the Times suggests Jake Odorizzi would likely be the top option to pitch in Hellickson absence, but also mentions Alex Colome and Enny Romero as replacement starters.
