Rays' Zack Littell: Claimed by Tampa Bay

Littell was claimed off waivers by the Rays on Friday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Littell was designated for assignment by the Red Sox earlier this week and will wind up remaining in the American League East. The reliever is out of options, so he'll join the major-league roster. It's not clear yet what the Rays' corresponding move will be.
