Rays' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Traded to Tampa Bay

The Rays acquired Malloy from the Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.

Malloy had been designated for assignment and is now on the move to a new organization. The right-handed-hitting Malloy has slashed only .209/.311/.346 in parts of two seasons at the major-league level, but he's hit .250/.397/.423 versus left-handed pitching. Malloy will compete for an Opening Day roster spot with the Rays but does have minor-league options remaining.
