Edwin Uceta - Shut down with new shoulder injury Uceta will be shut down for 2-to-3 weeks after being diagnosed with a right shoulder strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Uceta began the season on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement, and he suffered a new shoulder injury during his last rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham. The righty reliever will need time to get built back up once he does resume throwing, so Uceta will be out for several more weeks even in a best-case scenario. He is a candidate to be moved to the 60-day IL when/if the Rays need to free a spot on their 40-man roster.

Ryan Pepiot - Not progressing as hoped Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Pepiot's injured right hip felt "unstable" while the pitcher played catch Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Pepiot suffered a setback with his right hip last week when he threw a bullpen session, which resulted in him being shifted to the 60-day injured list. He was given an injection and shut down for a few days, and it seems the hip issue is still lingering. It's unclear whether Pepiot will be shut down again, but clearly the righty is not progressing as well as hoped. He is not eligible to return until late May.

Michael Grove - Shifted to 60-day injured list The Rays transferred Grove (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Monday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Impact The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Trevor Martin. Grove was signed last week as he continues his recovery from right shoulder surgery, and it's unclear when he might be ready to pitch in a game.

Trevor Martin - Added to bullpen The Rays selected Martin's contract from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Impact He'll be absorbing the roster spot vacated by the injured Mason Englert (forearm). Martin earned his first-ever big-league promotion after allowing just two unearned runs with an 11:6 K:BB in his first 9.1 innings with Durham.

Mason Englert - Sidelined by tight forearm The Rays placed Englert on the 15-day injured list Monday with right forearm tightness, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Impact Englert had appeared in each of the Rays' last two games and was charged with one run over 2.1 frames in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. He will miss at least the next two weeks of action, though it's unclear whether he still needs to undergo imaging.
