Rays' Trevor Richards: Called up by Rays

Richards was recalled by the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Richards was sent to Triple-A Durham prior to Opening Day after he allowed eight runs in 7.1 innings this spring. Richards has experience as a starter and long reliever in the majors, and he could fill in as a member of the rotation after Chris Archer (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
