Patino (oblique) will start Friday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Patino landed on the 60-day injured list in mid-April and more recently dealt with a blister. However, he'll be set to rejoin the rotation Friday, stepping in as a replacement for the injured Shane Baz (elbow). Though Patino covered 78 pitches in his most recent rehab outing with Triple-A Durham, it came back on July 2, as the blister issue had kept him out of action for the past two weeks. As a result, the Rays may not count him to work much longer than four or five innings in his return from the IL.
