Justyn-Henry Malloy - Designated for assignment The Rays designated Malloy for assignment Saturday.

Impact Malloy has been with Triple-A Durham since the beginning of the season but has struggled mightily, slashing just .128/.273/.266 over 132 plate appearances. His offensive woes will cost him his spot on the 40-man roster as the Rays make room for Aaron Brooks to join the big club.

Mason Englert - Optioned to Triple-A The Rays optioned Englert to Triple-A Durham on Saturday.

Impact Englert pitched 3.1 shutout innings in bulk relief Friday, giving up just two hits and striking out three batters in the process. The 26-year-old righty now owns a 5.63 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 16 big-league innings this year and could be an option for additional long-relief opportunities in the future. Aaron Brooks was recalled from Durham in a corresponding move.

Impact Brooks has made two appearances at Durham this season, during which he's given up eight earned runs on 12 hits and five walks while striking out five batters across 8.2 innings. Despite his poor performance, the Rays will bring the 36-year-old up to likely serve in a long-relief role. Mason Englert was optioned to Durham to make room on the active roster, and Justyn-Henry Malloy was DFA'd to clear a 40-man spot.
