Jesse Scholtens (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday.

Scholtens has been out since late May due to a wrist issue. The 32-year-old righty was working in a swingman type of role for the Rays prior to landing on the shelf, posting a decent 3.82 ERA with a 30-11 K/BB ratio across 37 2/3 innings. He could rejoin the Rays at some point following the All-Star break.

Jesse Scholtens threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Monday and is scheduled to face hitters on Thursday.

Scholtens threw 20 pitches on Monday without any issues with his wrist and is scheduled to face live hitters in a batting practice session on Thursday. It remains unclear whether he will require a minor league rehab assignment before being reinstated.

Jesse Scholtens is scheduled to resume throwing next week.

Fantasy Impact

Scholtens recently underwent imaging that revealed mild tendon inflammation in his right wrist. He is expected to begin throwing next week, but there is currently no timeline for his return as he continues to progress through the early stages of his rehab.

The Rays placed Jesse Scholtens on the 15-day injured list with a right wrist strain.

The move opens up a roster spot for Craig Kimbrel. Scholtens will be down for at least the next couple of weeks.

Jesse Scholtens allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out four batters across 4.2 innings in Friday's 2-0 loss against the Boston Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

The positive for Scholtens was that he allowed just two hits across 4.2 innings. The downside was that both hits left the yard for solo home runs, and he also issued four walks, driving his pitch count up to 91 with only 53 strikes thrown. Through six appearances, including two starts, he owns a 3.29 ERA and 1.17 WHIP on the season. His next scheduled start is lined up for Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
