Rays' Cole Sulser: Claimed by Tampa Bay

The Rays claimed Sulser off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

After an extended absence due to a shoulder strain, Sulser returned to make a lone appearance out of the Arizona bullpen before being designated for assignment. The Tampa Bay front office has deemed Sulser of a 40-man roster spot despite his struggles in recent seasons. The right-hander pitched to a 2.70 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and eight saves with Baltimore in 2021.
