Rays claim Haynes from Angels

ST. PETERSBURG – The Rays claimed Nathan Haynes off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels on Friday afternoon. To make room on the 40-man roster, the team placed Rocco Baldelli in the 60-day disabled list.

Haynes is a left-handed outfielder who can play all three outfield positions.

A career minor leaguer, Haynes batted .267 in 40 games with the Angels last season.

He hit .265 for the Angles this spring.

It’s not sure how this will impact the roster.

This could mean Eric Hinske doesn’t make the team. Or, it could mean Hinske makes the team as an infielder/outfielder and Joel Guzman doesn’t make the club.
