Rays Move Martin to Waivers | MLB News

The Tampa Bay Rays made some roster moves ahead of the trade deadline, bringing in infielder Jorge Mateo and calling up pitcher Jesse Scholtens while sending Carson Williams and Michael Grove down to Triple-A. To make room for Mateo, they designated Trevor Martin for assignment — a 25-year-old pitcher with solid minor league stats and a mid-90s fastball who was once ranked as the 40th best prospect in the system. Martin’s MLB numbers weren’t stellar, but his Triple-A ERA was impressive. Now on waivers, he’s likely to be claimed by another team — or stay with Tampa as depth if he clears waivers.
