PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. – Righthander Jake Odorizzi is rejoining the Tampa Bay Rays on a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training.

The team announced the signing Friday.

The 33-year-old who missed all of 2023 after undergoing shoulder surgery last April has pitched for five teams – the Rays, Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins, Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves – over portions of 11 seasons.

With right-hander Taj Bradley expected to miss the start of the season because of a strained pectoral muscle, there’s competition in spring camp for a possible opening in the rotation.

Odorizzi, who spent five seasons with the Rays from 2013 to 2017, is 74-69 with a 3.99 ERA over 241 career appearances, including 237 starts.

Real Madrid to face Man City in Champions League quarterfinals

NYON, Switzerland – Real Madrid and Manchester City are squaring off in the Champions League for the third year in a row.

The winners of the last two Champions League titles will meet in the quarterfinals this time after Friday’s draw set up another heavyweight clash between the only two teams who are still unbeaten in this season’s competition.

They played each other in the semifinals the previous two years, with Madrid emerging victorious in 2022 while City beat the Spanish giant last year and went on to capture its first European Cup trophy.

Kylian Mbappé’s path to a first Champions League title with Paris Saint-germain in his farewell season there will next go through Barcelona.

PSG hosts the first leg as coach Luis Enrique faces his former club, which he led to the 2015 title with a Barcelona team that included Lionel Messi and Neymar – who were later reunited in Paris for two seasons.

Arsenal was drawn to play the first leg at home against Bayern Munich, whose star striker Harry Kane will go back to north London after leaving the Gunners’ archrival Tottenham this offseason.
