The Rays placed Sulser on the 15-day injured list Monday with a lower-back strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wed, Apr 29, 2026 at 8:51 AM

Sulser gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his first save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Guardians. He struck out two.

Scouting Report

Can be used as either a reliever or starter in the minor leagues, which adds to his overall profile for Major League Baseball teams. Also strikes a lot of batters out. Lacks an ideal frame for a big-league pitcher, so he could stand to add more bulk for greater stamina. Has a little closing experience at lower levels. Can be a bit too hittable at times.

Long Range Potential: Versatile right-hander.
