Chris Archer

Archer (forearm) threw 10 pitches off a mound Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. Recovery from thoracic outlet surgery was supposed to be the primary concern for Archer this season, but he wound up making just two appearances before being shut down with an entirely separate issue with his forearm. He's making progress again after a brief setback in late May and is expected to advance to live batting practice in late June or early July. That suggests he won't return to the active roster before the All-Star break, however.

Archer (forearm) is feeling good and is eyeing an early July return from the injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Archer has been doing long toss and could begin mound work next week. The veteran righty landed on the IL on May 10 after just two early season appearances, one of which was a start.

The Tampa Bay Rays were hoping that a return home would be what Chris Archer needed. After a disastrous stint with the Pirates, Archer was back, and, as the Rays hoped, better than ever. On a $6.5 million contract, he was relatively expensive, but certainly worth the flier. His homecoming...

Archer (forearm) began a throwing program Friday, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports. Archer has been sidelined with forearm tightness since April 10. His injury was originally not expected to sideline him for an extended amount of time, but he was transferred to the 60-day injured list in early May. Archer will now continue to work at the team facility and is first eligible to be activated on June 10.

Archer (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports. Manager Kevin Cash said in late April that Archer was still several weeks away from returning to the mound, and he'll now be sidelined until at least June due to his forearm tightness. Archer had been throwing in April, but it's not clear where the right-hander is in his throwing progression following his placement on the 60-day IL.

Archer (forearm) continues to play catch but is at least a couple weeks away from returning to the rotation, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Archer has already spent nearly two weeks on the injured list with forearm tightness. Previous reports indicated that he wouldn't be in line for a long absence, and the fact that he's been throwing for over a week is certainly a good sign, but it looks as though he'll wind up missing at least close to a month.

Archer (forearm) was able to play light catch Wednesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports. The development supports the notion of Archer making a quick recovery, a belief expressed when the right-hander was first placed on the injured list. Manager Kevin Cash did note Archer still feels some forearm tightness when throwing, so whether he can return immediately upon being eligible to remains an open question.

Archer (forearm) is expected to play catch within the next few days and may not be in for a long stay on the injured list, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports. Archer made just a pair of appearances this season before exiting his Saturday start due to forearm tightness. Forearm issues are sometimes the first sign of a very serious injury for a pitcher, but it looks as though that isn't the case with this particularly problem.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Rays sustained another potentially big loss Saturday, as starter Chris Archer left the game in the third inning due to forearm/elbow tightness.

Well, yesterday afternoon’s game was no fun, was it? I personally wasn’t able to watch, but the 10-5 score doesn’t exactly make me think I would have enjoyed watching it. The glorious thing about baseball, however, is that after (almost) every loss, there’s another game to play. Domingo Germán gets...
