22 Chris Archer, SP

Rays manager Joe Maddon told reporters Thursday he's undecided about who will start Monday's game at Toronto in place of the injured David Price (triceps), according to the Tampa Bay Times. Maddon said Jake Odorizzi, Chris Archer, Alex Torres and Alex Colome are under consideration.

Odorizzi is the favorite to be recalled among Rays' beat writers. Archer started Thursday for Triple-A Durham, so he would be pitching on short rest if recalled. Torres was promoted to the majors Thursday and could be used in long relief. Colome last started for Durham Monday.

Rays starting pitcher prospect Chris Archer made his scheduled start for Triple-A Durham Thursday, which indicates fellow Durham pitcher Jake Odorizzi as being the expected choice to replace David Price (triceps) in the rotation Monday at Toronto, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Price was placed on the disabled list Thursday.

Looking at the most-viewed players list Wednesday night, I saw a pair of Rays' minor-league pitchers creeping up towards the middle of the list. Nothing gets past clever Fantasy owners, who realized that David Price suffered an injury to his throwing arm and could miss his next start.

Even though the team has not made an official decision on Price's status, Fantasy owners found their ways to both Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer's pages, on the off chance that the team will call up one or the other.

Wait until the team tabs one of them to get the call in Price's place, however, whichever one does get called up would be worth grabbing in most Fantasy formats. Archer has a better pedigree as a prospect, ranking 36th on Baseball America's prospect rankings this season as opposed to 92nd for Odorizzi. However, Odorizzi has been better this season for Triple-A Durham.

Of course, this could all be moot if Price ends up missing no time. Keep a close eye on the Rays' plans when looking at either pitcher. 

Rays starting pitcher prospect Chris Archer returned to action Saturday for Triple-A Durham after being scratched Monday with a minor calf contusion. Although, Archer didn't last long Saturday.

He was pulled after three innings and 54 pitches. He allowed one run on three hits and three walks, while striking out four. Archer, who is considered the Rays' fourth-best prospect by MLB.com, is 4-2 with a 3.97 ERA and .263 opponents' batting average in seven starts for Durham. He has 39 strikeouts to 15 walks in 34 innings.

Rays pitcher prospect Chris Archer, who had a solid April for Triple-A Durham, was scratched from his start Monday with a minor calf contusion suffered in his last start, the Tampa Bay Times reports. 

The Rays say the injury is not a disabled-list situation but is unsure how many days he'll be pushed back. 

Archer, the fourth-best prospect in the Rays' system, according to MLB.com, had 35 strikeouts in 31 innings in April. He walked 12 and allowed three home runs in going 4-1 with a 4.06 ERA.
