Let go by Rays Carlson was non-tendered by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Carlson was dealt to the Rays at the trade deadline and posted a .615 OPS, which was an improvement from his first half of the season with the Cardinals. Given his pedigree, and because he's still only 26 years old, Carlson will likely get a big-league deal. However, his career 94 wRC+ and .304 wOBA likely mean he'll struggle to find regular playing time without showing improvement at the plate.

Ends season with three hits Carlson went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Red Sox.
Impact Carlson has started only 12 of 27 games in September while working as a depth outfielder, but he ended his season on a strong note. He hit only .219 with a .615 OPS after being dealt to the Rays, so he could remain a bench bat for the team heading into 2025.

Taking seat Sunday Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Carlson will hit the bench after he had started in each of the Rays' last four games while going 3-for-13 with a home run and a pair of walks. Though he hasn't quite moved into a full-time role in the Tampa Bay outfield just yet, Carlson seems to be pushing the struggling Jose Siri for a regular spot. Siri will man center field Sunday, but he had been out of the lineup for two of the past three games, with the Rays facing right-handed starters on both occasions.

After slashing .198/.275/.240 in 59 games with the Cardinals, he needed just two games to hit his first homer as a member of the Rays.
