Prior to Tuesday night’s series opener against the Boston Red Sox at Tropicana Field, the Tampa Bay Rays announced that they have placed outfielder Manuel Margot on the bereavement list following the death of his father. They have recalled outfielder Brian O’Grady from the Port Charlotte camp.
The Rays acquired O’Grady this offseason in a deal with the Cincinnati Reds. Drafted in the eighth round of the 2014 draft, O’Grady made his big league debut with Cincinnati in 2019. He hit .190/.292/.429 with 2 HR over 48 plate appearances; five of his eight hits in the big leagues have gone for extra bases.
