The Tampa Bay Rays are signing right-hander Jake Woodford to a minor league contract after he elected free agency following his waiver by the Cubs. Woodford, 29, has experience with the Rays’ coaching staff from Spring Training and has pitched ineffectively this season, recording a 7.18 ERA over 26 1/3 innings in 18 appearances. With Griffin Jax on the injured list, Tampa Bay may utilize Woodford in a multi-inning role at Triple-A Durham.
