Player Notes

July 25, 2005
The Devil Rays optioned Fernando Cortez to Triple-A Durham Monday to make room on the roster for Doug Waechter, who just came off the DL. Cortez hit only .077 (1-for-13) in eight games with Tampa Bay.

July 22, 2005
Fernando Cortez likely will be sent to the minors soon to clear room on the Devil Rays roster for the return of injured players, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

July 5, 2005
Lou Piniella indicated that Fernando Cortez will get his first major league start either today or Wednesday, according to the Tampa Tribune. He was called up from Triple-A Durham over the weekend. "He can play second and he can play short," Piniella said. "We talked to [Durham manager] Bill Evers down there and he said he's been playing more second base at Triple-A. He played some shortstop at Double-A. And he says he can swing the bat a little bit, can put the ball in play." Cortez was hitting .278 and was 9-for-9 in stolen base attempts in 21 games with Durham this year.
