The Tampa Bay Rays claimed Jake Reed off waivers four days after he was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Reed is the third player the Dodgers have lost to a waiver claim this season, joining Travis Blankenhorn and Ashton Goudeau. Nate Jones cleared waivers but elected free agency.
Reed signed a Minor League contract with the Dodgers last month and joined the Major League roster on July 6. The right-hander made his MLB debut that night and pitched as an opener the following game against the Miami Marlins.
Reed originally was a fifth-round draft pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2014 out of the University of Oregon.
