The Tampa Bay Rays recalled 25-year-old right-handed pitcher Alex Cook from Triple-A Durham on October 8 ahead of the American League Championship Series. Cook's recall makes him available to the organization during the postseason, though the transaction does not automatically secure him a spot on the official ALCS roster.
