The Tampa Bay Rays have demoted Taj Bradley to Triple-A Durham.

The right-hander had impressed in three starts with a 3.52 ERA and an 11.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 15 innings. The Rays are hoping to get Bradley, 22, on an altered schedule where he's able to start every fifth game instead of every sixth game.

Tampa is currently without three starters due to injury -- Jeffrey Springs, Shane Baz and Tyler Glasnow.
