One of baseball's best starting pitching prospects will be making his MLB debut a bit earlier than anticipated. The Tampa Bay Rays announced on Tuesday that Zach Eflin, who was scheduled to start against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, will instead be put on the injured list with lower back tightness.
#Rays RH Zach Eflin headed to 15-day IL with low back tightness. Prospect Taj Bradley will come up to make Wednesday start vs. #RedSox
