DETROIT -- J.P. Arencibia is back in the Rays' organization, as the club signed the veteran catcher to a Minor League deal on Friday.
Initially, Arencibia will report to Triple-A Durham.
"J.P. did a lot of good things for us last year," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "In Triple-A, the guys loved the teammate he was. Then he got up here and performed well for us. I think it's just kind of added depth for us right now. Let's see if we can get him back to where he was last year, that month of the season for us.
