Tampa Bay Rays keep Wade Davis in bullpen, plan to call up pitcher from minors to replace Jeff Niemann

TORONTO — RHP Wade Davis started 68 games, and another in the playoffs, for the Rays over the previous two-plus seasons. But with RHP Jeff Niemann sidelined for six or more weeks with a broken leg, the Rays' plan is to summon either RHP Chris Archer or RHP Alex Cobb from Triple-A Durham and keep Davis in the bullpen.
