MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Tampa Bay Rays have announced a flurry of roster moves affecting the Biscuits. 19-year old 1B Jake Bauers has been promoted to the Biscuits from A+ Charlotte and RHP Bradin Hagens has been transferred back to the Biscuits from AAA Durham while RHP Jake Faria has been promoted to the Biscuits from A+ Charlotte. In three corresponding moves, INF Hector Guevara has been transferred to R+ Princeton, RHP Colton Reavis has been placed on the 7-day DL, retroactive to June 21 and RHP Kyle Winkler has been traded to the Angels.
