Hensley (elbow) was selected by the Rays in the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 draft Thursday.
The first-round pick has missed the last two seasons due to two Tommy John surgeries and has pitched just 42.2 minor league innings since being drafted in 2012. The Rays are betting on some of that potential he displayed prior to being drafted, but the 23-year-old has a lot of lost time to make up for. The first step is to regain full strength and get some work in within the lower levels of the minor leagues.
