The Rays claimed Reed off waivers from the Dodgers on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The 28-year-old Reed reached the big leagues for the first time in 2021, making six appearances out of the Los Angeles bullpen before being designated for assignment Wednesday. While his ratios in his limited sample of MLB action weren't anything special, Reed's 28:7 K:BB across 21 innings in the minors this season intrigued the Rays enough to put in a waiver claim for him. If he continues to impress at Durham, he could earn a look in the Tampa Bay bullpen later this season.
