Roycroft Headed to A's After Rays DFA | MLB News

Tampa Bay Rays make a roster move to bring back pitcher Manuel Rodriguez, designating Chris Roycroft for assignment—just days later, the Oakland A’s swoop him up off waivers.

As the Rays’ pitching staff heals, tough roster calls like this are becoming inevitable.
