Acton signed a two-year, minor-league contract with the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Acton was released by the Athletics in July after it was determined that he needed Tommy John surgery. He won't pitch in 2024 but will be invited to spring training in 2025. The 25-year-old was knocked around during his brief time in Oakland but boasts a 33 percent strikeout rate during his time in the minors.
