NEW YORK — Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot was hospitalized for a knee infection and will miss his scheduled start at Toronto on Tuesday. Pepiot was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Friday, and right-hander Tyler Zuber was recalled from Triple-A Durham and in position to make his first big league appearance in three years. Pepiot was admitted to Columbia University Medical Center for treatment of his right knee. A 26-year-old right-hander, Pepiot is 6-5 with a 3.92 ERA in 17 starts. He was acquired from the Dodgers as part of the trade that sent Tyler Glasnow to Los Angeles.
