Returns to mound without issue Honeywell touched 95 mph with his fastball and mixed in offspeed and breaking pitches during his outing Monday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Honeywell threw one inning and allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk in his first appearance in a live game since Sept. 19, 2017. He reportedly hit 95 mph with his fastball while also mixing in a slider and changeup. Most importantly, he left the outing healthy. Honeywell is likely to start the season at Triple-A Durham, but could have a shot to make his major-league debut at some point during the 2021 campaign.

Set to start Monday Honeywell (elbow) is expected to start Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact It will be the 25-year-old's first action against another team since September of 2017, since he's been sidelined by numerous arm injuries. Due to the absence, Honeywell figures to open the season at Triple-A and likely will need to prove his health and effectiveness before receiving a shot in the majors.

Receives demotion The Rays optioned Honeywell (elbow) to their minor-league camp Tuesday.

Impact Honeywell had yet to pitch for the Rays during the team's Grapefruit League slate, but he looks to be nearing the finish line in his recovery from a mid-December elbow procedure. He was cleared to face hitters in live batting practice over the weekend, so Honeywell could get the chance to test himself in a game setting before the end of the spring, since he'll still be eligible to pitch in the Grapefruit League even after his demotion. Considering that Honeywell hasn't pitched in affiliated ball since 2017 due to a slew of arm injuries, he'll likely need to stay healthy and pitch effectively at Triple-A Durham before the Rays consider adding him to the active roster.

Impact Facing hitters marked a significant milestone for Honeywell, who has been sidelined for much of the past three seasons due to an assortment of arm injuries. According to Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network, manager Kevin Cash said Sunday that he doesn't expect Honeywell to be ready to pitch in any games during the Grapefruit League season, but the skipper indicated he was impressed with the right-hander, who sported a fastball that sat around 92-to-94 miles per hour and touched 95. Once fully cleared, Honeywell will likely open his season at Triple-A Durham.

Should face hitters soon Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Honeywell (elbow) has looked good during his recent bullpen sessions and will soon advance to pitching in live batting practice, Marc Top...

Impact Cash was unwilling to speculate if Honeywell would be ready to pitch in a Grapefruit League game at any point, but the right-hander looks like he'll at least be able to test himself against hitters in a controlled setting prior to the end of spring training. Honeywell is expected to open the season in the injured list while he works back from a minor procedure he required on his elbow last December. It was the fourth different elbow procedure or surgery for Honeywell, who hasn't pitched in affiliated ball since 2017.

Progressing from elbow procedure Manager Kevin Cash said Honeywell (elbow) will throw bullpen sessions Friday and early next week before the Rays decide on the next step in his rehab program, Steve Carney of Sport...

Impact Honeywell is on the comeback trail after undergoing a procedure in mid-December to address mild discomfort in his right elbow. The 25-year-old is said to be progressing well, but the Rays are likely inclined to bring him along slowly, considering that he hasn't thrown a pitch in an official game in any of the past three seasons. Before requiring his latest procedure, Honeywell underwent Tommy John surgery in 2018, another surgery in 2019 after fracturing his right elbow, and a nerve decompression procedure last May.

Throws bullpen session Manager Kevin Cash said Honeywell (elbow) looked good in a short bullpen session Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact The 25-year-old underwent a minor elbow procedure in mid-December, but he may be ready for the start of spring games Feb. 27 given he's already throwing bullpen sessions. Honeywell was once one of Tampa Bay's top prospects, but he hasn't pitched in a game since September 2017 and has undergone four surgeries in that span.

Undergoes minor procedure Honeywell (elbow) underwent a minor procedure Thursday that isn't expected to impact his availability for 2021, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Honeywell's most recent procedure was done to relieve some mild discomfort in his right elbow, but he's still expected to be ready for spring training. The 25-year-old has now undergone four procedures since September of 2017, which was the last time that he appeared in game action. Honeywell hasn't pitched above the Triple-A level, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to earn a major-league roster spot in 2021.
