Rays' Ralph Garza: Cast off 40-man

Garza was designated for assignment Saturday, Steve Carney of MLB.com reports.

He had a 3.34 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB in 35 innings through 19 MLB appearances before being shuttled to Triple-A in early August. Garza was bumped off the 40-man roster to make room for Manuel Margot (knee), who was activated from the 60-day injured list.
