Rays Designate Pitcher For Assignment

The Rays have designated Cooper Criswell for assignment.

Although Criswell had a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, he did not appear in a game for the major league squad this season. In six games this year, he has a 0-1 record to go along with a 3.50 ERA. 

The Rays have until the end of the week to either trade or place Criswell on waivers. There could be a team willing to take a shot on him, as pitching depth is always good to have. In one career MLB game, he allowed three runs in 1.1 innings pitched.
