Ian Seymour struck out nine while allowing one run over 5 1/3 innings for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old Seymour, who was added to the 40-man last winter, is probably behind Joe Boyle in line for any openings in the Rays rotation, but he’s off to a great start at Durham, having posted a 2.49 ERA and a 35/7 K/BB through 25 1/3 innings. He’ll be ready if needed.
