23 Jake Odorizzi, SP

The Rays made a change to their rotation plans Wednesday. They announced Alex Cobb and Jake Odorizzi will swap places, with Cobb starting Sunday against the Yankees and Odorizzi moving back to Monday against the Marlins.

Odorizzi made his season debut Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out six.

Starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi made his Tampa Bay debut Monday at Toronto, taking a no-decision after tossing five innings. The right-hander was charged with three runs on five hits and one walk, while striking out six.

Odorizzi, who made two starts for the Royals last season, got off to a rough start. He allowed two runs in the first inning and another run in the second inning. However, he settled down to toss three straight scoreless innings before turning the game over to the bullpen.

"Starting off I just couldn't get in a groove," Odorizzi said. "Once I did, it felt good."

Odorizzi is expected to remain in the rotation while David Price is on the disabled list. Unless they skip his next start because of Thursday's off-day, then Odorizzi should be back on the hill Sunday against the Yankees.

The Rays officially added starter Jake Odorizzi to the 25-man roster on Sunday after a win over the Orioles, the Tampa Bay Times reports. Odorizzi is recalled from Triple-A Durham with Jeff Beliveau going back down. 

Odorizzi is taking over David Price's vacated spot in the rotation for as long as Price is on the disabled list. He begins with a start Monday against Toronto.
