Alex Faedo (shoulder) threw a live batting practice session Wednesday, signaling he is fully healthy after missing the final six weeks of 2024 with a right shoulder strain, per Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times.

Faedo posted a 3.61 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 55:28 K:BB over 57.1 innings with the Tigers last season. He has no minor-league options remaining, meaning the Rays would have to expose him to waivers if he doesn’t make the Opening Day roster. While he isn't likely to see save opportunities, Faedo could carve out a middle-relief role, making him a potential deep-league option in holds formats.
