Jake Diekman To Return Thursday
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays left-hander Jake Diekman is expected to come off the paternity list on Thursday, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. The 36-year-old hasn't pitched since May 21 and hit the paternity list on May 22. Diekman's seen better days, as he owns a 7.20 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, and 18.3% strikeout rate over 15 innings split between the Boston Red Sox and the Rays. The club has many options for late-inning work, so don't expect the 12-year-vet to factor into any save situations or add much to the three holds he has this season.
