The Rays have designated Will Rhymes for assignment, reports Marc Topkin of The Tampa Times. The move clears room on the 40-man roster for Jeff Niemann, who was activated off the 60-day DL.
Rhymes, 29, hit .228/.299/.285 in 137 plate appearances for the Rays this season while playing second and third bases. He hit .256/.326/.390 in 194 plate appearances with their Triple-A affiliate as well.
Poor little guy.
Will Ryhmes is a good contact hitter, needs to play.. If I needed a proven glove at 2nd base, Will would be my man. He has hit better in The MLB.
