We have more DL news to announce, and we'll get to that in a second, but In light of Brandon Gomes again being in the bullpen, I must ask: How have you felt about the Rays depth?
Topping out at 12 men on the disabled list yet again, with the injury count reaching 20 across the season, the Rays are treading above .500 and are about to play three games in Boston.
Perhaps not having a losing record is enough to be happy, but let's review the depth chart and then you decide.
Men on a disabled list are marked in bold, players who have been sidelined for any amount of time this season italicized.

The additions to the list are Jennings's pesky left knee, and Dominguez's shoulder. When a reliever who throws 100 MPH is promoted and only tosses 93, I guess that should have been a sign. So again, Brandon Gomes.
Honestly, my thoughts on the bullpen right now can be easily surmised:
...but you make the call. Are you satisfied with the Rays depth right now?
