The Rays are signing right-hander Jake Woodford to a minor league contract, reports Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times. Woodford has some familiarity with the Rays’ coaching staff. He was with the team in Spring Training after signing an offseason minor league deal. Woodford failed to break camp with Tampa Bay but leveraged an upward mobility clause into an MLB roster spot with Milwaukee. Tampa Bay can keep Woodford stretched out in a multi-inning role at Triple-A Durham.
