Garton was a non-roster invitee to spring training after posting a 3.99 ERA and 10.6 K/9 between three different Triple-A teams last season. He'll likely spend time with Minnesota's alternate training site unless the major league bullpen needs depth.

The right-hander was traded to Seattle from the Rays on Aug. 6 and struggled upon arriving at Triple-A Tacoma, posting a 6.00 ERA over 12 innings.

Rays' Ryan Garton: Returns to majors
Rotowire
Garton was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.

Rays' Ryan Garton: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
Garton was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Garton will give the Rays an extra healthy arm out of the bullpen after Diego Moreno (shoulder) was moved to the 10-day disabled list. The Rays are lacking in capable setup arms in front of closer Alex Colome, but Garton isn't a strong candidate to see much usage in the seventh or eighth inning. Garton had submitted a 0.59 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 15.1 innings with Durham, but owns a 4.75 ERA and 34:12 K:BB in 41.2 career innings in the big leagues.

Garton (0-1) gave up two earned runs on three hits and a walk over an inning in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Astros. He also recorded a strikeout.
Garton surrendered RBI singles to Brian McCann and Yuli Gurriel in the 10th, giving the Astros a two-run advantage that the Rays couldn't overcome in the home half of the frame. It was the 27-year-old righty's first appearance since being called up from Triple-A Durham on Friday following an excellent start to his minor-league campaign (10:4 K:BB, .136 BAA over 6.2 innings) to replace Xavier Cedeno (forearm). Despite the disappointing outcome, with Cedeno expected to miss extended time, Garton should have plenty of opportunities to make up for the stumble.

Garton will be taking the roster spot vacated by the injured Xavier Cedeno. As a player with options who was one of the last men cut from the Rays in spring training, expect Garton to spend lots of time up-and-down between Triple-A Durham and the major leagues this year.

The right-hander turned in a 7:2 K:BB in 8.1 Grapefruit League innings, but also gave up 10 hits, including two home runs.
