Chris Archer goes three scoreless
Chris Archer - S - Tampa Bay Rays
March 1, 2013 - 4:15 PM ET

Chris Archer pitched three scoreless innings out of the pen Friday against the Blue Jays.

Expectations are that the Rays will go with a veteran, either Jeff Niemann or Roberto Hernandez, as their fifth starter, but Archer is the most intriguing candidate of the bunch. Even if he gets sent to Triple-A initially, he'll still be a good bet to have some AL-only value this year.
