Percival Back Off DL, Will Close


The Tampa Bay Rays got a major boost today, activating closer Troy Percival off the disabled list for the 3rd time this season. It's been difficult for the 38-year old to get on the mound this year, but he's still found a way to compile 27 saves in only 30 chances and give Tampa the solid closer they need to prosper in both September and the postseason.

Third-baseman Evan Longoria should also be back soon, so the Rays will once again be 100% healthy coming into the stretch run.
