On Friday, the Tampa Bay Rays added another arm to their bullpen when they claimed right-hander Jumbo Diaz off waivers from the Reds. Diaz had been designated for assignment this past week by the Reds.
To accommodate him on the 40-man roster, pitcher Nathan Eovaldi was transferred to the 60-day DL and with no minor league options remaining, Diaz upon his return from the World Baseball Classic will either make the Rays Opening Day Roster or make a return trip to the waiver wire as he is out of minor league options.
