Risser in New York-Penn League
Former Washington relief pitcher Travis Risser has been assigned to the Hudson Valley Renegades, the Tamp Bay Rays' affiliate in the short-season New York-Penn League.
Risser had five saves in nine games and a 1.64 ERA for Columbus of the Class A South Atlantic League before being sent back to extended spring training. He pitched one scoreless inning Tuesday night in the season opener for the Renegades.
Pitcher Michael Lucas has been assigned to the Bristol Sox of the Appalachian League. I have yet to see pitcher Corey Bachman listed on a roster in the Toronto Blue Jays' system.

Why was Risser sent back for extended spring training after an apparent good start to the season?
I was wondering about that too. Do you suppose he has an arm issue?
From what I was told - not from anyone with Tampa Bay - it was because of a "violation of team rules."
