The Rays have designated left-hander John Gaub for assignment, according to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times (via Twitter). The move will allow the Rays to make room on the 40-man roster for the recently-acquired Drew Sutton.
Gaub, 27, appeared in four games for the Cubs last season and was picked up off of waivers by the Rays in early April. The lefty owns a 3.81 ERA with 11.8 K/9 and 6.3 BB/9 across parts of four Triple-A seasons.
