Rays' Chase Whitley: Will start Sunday
Whitley will start Sunday's season finale against the Rangers.
Analysis:
The right-hander has fared well since his early-September promotion (two earned runs, 11 strikeouts in 10.1 innings) and will be rewarded with his first start of the season. Whitley threw a season-high 62 pitches in his most recent outing Tuesday and may be capped around 80-85 pitches or so Sunday.
