Chirinos is expected to get a look in the Rays' rotation following the demotion of Taj Bradley, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Chirinos has pitched well in relief, tossing 9.1 scoreless innings with a 5:2 K:BB. It's not clear when Chirinos might make a start, but all three of his relief appearances have been lengthy so it shouldn't be a major transition. The right-hander was a successful starter for Tampa Bay in prior seasons before multiple arm injuries.
