ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays recalled
right-hander Jason Hammel from Triple-A Durham and said Monday that
right-hander Jae Seo accepted an assignment to the minor league
affiliate.
Hammel, 0-6 with a 7.77 ERA in nine starts for the Devil Rays
last season, fills one of two openings created when Tampa Bay
optioned relievers Chad Orvella and Tim Corcoran to Durham after
Sunday's game against Florida Marlins. The other roster spot will
be filled on Tuesday.
Seo, 3-4 with an 8.13 ERA this season, was designated for
assignment on June 2. Hammel was 4-5 with a 3.42 ERA in 13 starts
at Durham.
