Roe underwent successful surgery to address a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Roe made just one appearance this year before he was placed on the 10-day injured list in early April, and he recently suffered a setback in his recovery. Manager Kevin Cash said prior to the surgery that the hope is that the right-hander will be able to return to the majors in 2022.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Suffers setback in rehab
Rotowire
Roe was removed from his rehab outing with Triple-A Durham on Thursday because of right shoulder discomfort and biceps tendinitis, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Per Solondz, manager Kevin Cash said Roe will likely be shut down 7-10 days before he starts to get built back up. The right-hander appeared to be closing in on a return from a shoulder strain that has sidelined him since early April, but given this setback, he will do well to rejoin the Rays bullpen before the All-Star break.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Rehab continuing smoothly
Rotowire
Roe (shoulder) has allowed an earned run on two hits over the two innings covering his last two rehab appearances for Triple-A Durham.
The veteran reliever continues to make progress on his path to an eventual return to the big-league club. Roe has been sidelined since early April, so the three total frames he's logged for the Bulls so far in his rehab are likely short of the target goal the Rays would like to see him reach before deeming him ready for activation.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Perfect frame in first rehab outing
Rotowire
Roe (shoulder) fired a perfect second inning during which he recorded a strikeout in Triple-A Durham's loss to High Tide on Thursday.
Roe passed his quick 12-pitch test with flying colors, getting eight offerings into the strike zone in his first rehab appearance. The veteran reliever made only one appearance with the Rays this season before going on the 60-day injured list, so he'll likely need several more outings with the Bulls before he's deemed ready for activation.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Expected to pitch Thursday
Rotowire
Roe (shoulder) should begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.
As expected, the beginning of Roe's rehab was only delayed a couple days after pregame soreness prevented him from pitching Tuesday. With a unique and effective slider, he's proven to be a valuable, consistent asset for years and should figure into the Rays' late-inning bullpen plans once healthy.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Rehab outing delayed
Rotowire
Roe (shoulder) will have his rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham delayed, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Roe was slated to make his first rehab appearance Tuesday, but he felt some soreness in his shoulder while he was throwing ahead of the game. The team is hopeful that the right-hander will only be delayed a day or two, but his status is worth monitoring in the coming days.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Set to begin rehab assignment
Rotowire
Roe (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.
Roe was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder strain April 5 and is eligible to come off the injured list Thursday. Given the length of his absence, the Rays will likely try to get him multiple outings with Durham before he returns to the big club, though him being activated within the next couple weeks does not seem out of the question.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Making progress
Rotowire
Roe (shoulder) is throwing a bullpen session Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Roe hit the injured list April 5 with a shoulder strain. It was initially reported that he would be shut down for six weeks, so his first bullpen session remains in line with that timeline. Even so, Roe will be absent until at least early June due to his status on the 60-day injured list, though his absence will likely extend beyond his initial eligibility.
The Rays transferred Roe (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Roe had been placed on the 10-day injured list Monday after he was diagnosed with a strained right shoulder following his relief appearance against the Marlins three days earlier. Since he won't be cleared to throw for the next six weeks and could need an additional six weeks beyond that before being deemed ready for game action, the move to the 60-day IL likely won't affect his timeline for a return. Tampa Bay will hand Roe's 40-man roster spot to catcher Deivy Grullon, who was scooped up off waivers from the Reds on Tuesday.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Shut down for six weeks
Rotowire
Roe (shoulder) will be shut down from throwing for approximately six weeks, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Manager Kevin Cash initially announced Monday that Roe would be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, although the team has clarified that the right-hander will be shut down for about six weeks before he resumes throwing. As a result, Roe should be sidelined from game action for several months due to his shoulder strain. Chris Mazza was recalled to take his place in the bullpen, and Collin McHugh could also pitch in more high-leverage situations in Roe's absence.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
Roe was placed on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder strain Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Roe made his season debut Friday and allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning against the Marlins. However, the right-hander dealt with shoulder tightness this spring and will now be forced to miss time during the regular season due to the issue. It's not yet clear when Roe will be able to return. The Rays recalled right-hander Chris Mazza in a corresponding move to take his place in the bullpen.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Returns to action Tuesday
Rotowire
Roe (shoulder) faced three hitters in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles, striking out two and walking the other.
The Grapefruit League appearance was Roe's first in a week and a half after he had battled a tight shoulder of late. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Roe experienced no setbacks with the shoulder coming out of the appearance, so he looks on track to be a part of Tampa Bay's Opening Day bullpen.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Working through tight shoulder
Rotowire
Roe has been battling a tight shoulder for the past few days but is feeling better and should get back on the mound soon, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Roe was limited to just 9.1 innings last season due to arm issues, though those were located in his elbow. Another battle with arm troubles certainly isn't a good thing for the 34-year-old, though it sounds like this particular problem isn't a serious one.

Rays' Chaz Roe: Bounces back in second outing
Rotowire
Roe fired a perfect fourth inning in a Grapefruit League loss to the Twins on Saturday, recording a strikeout.
The veteran had gotten banged around for three earned runs on two hits and a hit batsman over an inning against Minnesota in his Grapefruit League debut Wednesday, so Saturday's outing was a nice bit of atonement. Roe has been an integral part of the middle-relief corps in Tampa Bay for the last three seasons with 57 holds and three saves across 91 appearances, and he figures to carry another heavy workload in 2021.
