Ryon Healy: Cut loose by Tampa Bay

The Rays released Healy on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Healy likely had the option of reporting to minor-league camp after he was informed he wouldn't make the Rays' Opening Day roster, but given the organization's considerable corner-infield depth at both the MLB and Triple-A levels, the 30-year-old may have decided he was better off pursuing opportunities elsewhere. Though he has a pair of 20-plus-homer seasons on his resume, Healy has logged just seven plate appearances in the majors over the past two years and underwhelmed with a .700 OPS during his 67-game stint in the Korea Baseball Organization in 2021.
