ST. PETERSBURG -- With Wilson Ramos on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain, the Rays needed another catcher on the roster. Triple-A Durham's Adam Moore was selected to fill that need.

When a player's contract is designated for assignment -- often abbreviated "DFA" -- that player is immediately removed from his club's 40-man roster, and 25-man roster if he was on that as well.
