Rays DFA Trevor Martin After Mateo Signing
Tampa Bay designated the 25-year-old righty for assignment, opening a 40-man spot. He will be placed on waivers and is considered a likely waiver claim.
The Rays officially designated right-hander Trevor Martin for assignment to create a 40-man roster spot for newly signed infielder Jorge Mateo. Martin, 25, posted a 3.09 ERA in 43.2 innings at Triple-A Durham this season but struggled with an 11.2% walk rate. He has mid-90s fastball stuff and a full slate of options remaining. With the trade deadline passed, Martin must clear waivers, and given his profile, a claim is considered likely.
