Cooper Criswell - DFA'd on Tuesday The Rays designated Criswell (shoulder) for assignment Tuesday.
Impact The move comes three days after Tampa Bay claimed Criswell off waivers from the Angels. Prior to being claimed, Criswell had resided on the Angels' 60-day injured list due to an inflamed shoulder, but the 25-year-old is seemingly healthy after he made a five-inning rehab start for Double-A Rocket City on July 13. The 25-year-old will likely remain in Tampa Bay's organization as a member of the Triple-A Durham rotation if he goes unclaimed after losing his 40-man roster spot.

Angel Perdomo - Claimed by Rays The Rays claimed Perdomo (hand) off waivers from the Brewers on Tuesday.
Impact Perdomo has been rehabbing from a hand injury and began an assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League a week ago. The lefty will report to Triple-A Durham and looks like he'll be active right away for the affiliate when the minor-league All-Star break ends. Since he'll get a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, Perdomo should have the opportunity to make his first MLB appearance of 2022 at some point over the next two months.

Brett Phillips - Swats fifth homer Phillips went 1-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Orioles.

He now has five home runs on the season, with Sunday's long ball marking his first since May 17. Though Phillips had been losing out on playing time of late, he could see an uptick of plate appearances with Harold Ramirez (thumb) expected to be out for several weeks.
