Rays pitcher Drew Smyly is scheduled to throw 70 pitches in his third rehab start in Double-A, reports the Tampa Tribune.
Smyly, who is currently on the 15-day DL with shoulder tendinitis, could be back with the club this week if all goes according to plan and start Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
Smyly went 9-10 in 2014 with a 3.24 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 153 innings pitched.
