Rays' Dana Eveland: Called up to big leagues

Eveland's contract was purchased from Triple-A Durham after Sunday's 4-2 win over the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The well-traveled Eveland will join the big club for the first time since early July, when he was dropped from the 40-man roster. In order to clear a spot for Eveland again, the Rays designated reliever Tyler Sturdevant for assignment. Look for Eveland to work primarily as a lefty specialist over the final few weeks of the season.
