Rays' Justin Sterner: Contract selected by Tampa Bay

The Rays selected Sterner's contract from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

The right-hander has a 3.60 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB over 25 innings for Durham this year to earn his first taste of the big leagues. Sterner should fill a low-leverage bullpen role for the Rays.
