The Rays have promoted left-hander Ian Seymour from Triple-A Durham, optioning right-hander Cole Sulser to make room, with no 40-man move needed as Seymour was already on the roster. The 26-year-old, a second-round pick in 2020, faced injury setbacks but excelled post-rehab with a combined 2.35 ERA in 2024 and a 2.95 ERA this season, ranking 15th and 19th among the Rays’ top prospects by Baseball America and MLB Pipeline, respectively. While Seymour’s average fastball velocity is in the low-90s, his command and deception make him a promising addition to the bullpen, particularly as the Rays manage their pitching depth following a recent extra-innings game.
