ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot could return to the rotation late this week after being hospitalized last month for a knee infection that is believed to the result of a spider bite during the All-Star break. Pepiot was admitted to Columbia University Medical Center in New York and received antibiotics in his right knee after being placed on the 15-day injured list on July 19. The swelling in his knee reached a point where he needed help to walk into the hospital. He started for Double-A Montgomery on Saturday, and rejoined the team Sunday to continue working out.
