Montgomery, AL
Starting pitching:
Alex Cobb is up in the Rays' rotation for the injured Wade Davis.
Alex Torres was called up to the majors for the Yankees game (and we all know how that went) and demoted back to Durham straight after it.
Matt Moore was called up to Durham.
There is no word out yet who takes Moore's spot in the rotation back in Montgomery.
Relief pitching:
It's Kyle Farnsworth, Joel Peralta, J.P. Howell, Jacob McGee, Brandon Gomes and Cesar Ramos right now in the pen. Alex Torres and Andy Sonnanstine are in AAA, Adam Russell was DFA'd and Juan Cruz is hurt. Who will fill the 7th bullpen spot? Or are the Rays going with an additional bench bat (highly unlikely after the heavy BP usage of the recent games)?
One option for a possible BP spot was granted its release, though. R.J. Swindle is no longer part of the Bulls pen.
Ryan Reid was promoted to Durham.
Catching:
John Jaso and Jose Lobaton are on the DL. Kelly Shoppach and Robinson Chirinos will do the catching in the next games. Nevin Ashley takes the biggest share of the Lobaton/Chirinos PA's in Durham. He has been promoted from Montgomery.
Outfielders:
John Matulia has been promoted to Durham.

I'm thinking Maddon must have something to do with promotions and demotions, as they go up and down from Durham just as often as he uses up RP's.

I'm really happy to see the 4 players promoted from Montgomery.

There is no doubt that Maddon has a hand in the promotions/demotions, especially with the pen. The bullpen is a weakness right now and it takes a lot of moving around in the pen to get the team to compete.
