The Rays have designated Jason Bourgeois for assignment, accoridng to Roger Mooney of The Tampa Tribune (on Twitter). The move will create roster space for the newly-acquired David DeJesus.
The outfielder was signed to a minor league deal in January by Tampa Bay. Bourgeois, 31, saw just nine games of big league actions in 2013 and spent most of the season with the club's Triple-A affiliate. At Triple-A Durham, Bourgeois hit .291/.336/.371 with two homers in 363 plate appearances.
